Clarksville, MO
Clarksville wildfire risk explained
Clarksville's 304 buildings earn a 52nd-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Clarksville at the 55th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Clarksville's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Clarksville (78.6% of 304 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 21.1% sit in the Direct zone.
Clarksville against the rest of the country
Clarksville ranks lower within Missouri (37th percentile statewide) than its 52nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clarksville ranks 15,069 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,523 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 666 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Clarksville
Clarksville's elevated rating (52nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 78.6% of Clarksville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Clarksville's 52nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Clarksville, see the exposure-zones guide.
