How exposed is Centerview to wildfire?

Elevated
55thpercentile nationally

Centerview's 160 buildings earn a 55th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Centerview at the 56th percentile, close to its 55th-percentile risk score.

Centerview's building exposure, zone by zone

160Total buildings
21.9%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
78.1%Minimal exposure

78.1% of Centerview's 160 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 21.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.

How Centerview compares

There's little gap between Centerview's 55th national percentile and its 42nd percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Centerview ranks 14,187 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,433 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 612 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

Centerview's elevated wildfire rating (55th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.

Hardening a home in Centerview

Centerview's 78.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
