Corder, MO
How exposed is Corder to wildfire?
USFS scores Corder at the 28th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 342 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Corder's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 27th percentile nationally.
Where Corder's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 80.1% of Corder's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 19.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Corder compares
Corder ranks lower within Missouri (9th percentile statewide) than its 28th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corder ranks 22,818 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,516 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 970 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Corder and the insurance market
At the 28th national percentile, Corder rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Corder
With 80.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Corder gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
