Country Club Hills, MO
How exposed is Country Club Hills to wildfire?
USFS scores Country Club Hills at the 43rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 564 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Country Club Hills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 47th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Country Club Hills rates 99.5% Minimal exposure against just 0.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 564 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Country Club Hills ranks
Inside Missouri, Country Club Hills sits at just the 18th percentile even though it scores 43rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Country Club Hills ranks 18,030 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,341 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 869 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Country Club Hills
At the 43rd national percentile, Country Club Hills rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 99.5% of Country Club Hills outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Country Club Hills's 43rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Country Club Hills, see the exposure-zones guide.
