Creve Coeur, MO
Creve Coeur, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Creve Coeur's 6,285 buildings earn a 48th-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 Creve Coeur at the 51st percentile, close to its 48th-percentile risk score.
Where Creve Coeur's buildings actually sit
Only 9.5% of Creve Coeur's 6,285 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 90.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 6,285 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Creve Coeur against the rest of the country
Creve Coeur's 48th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 29th ranking inside Missouri does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 19 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Creve Coeur ranks 16,456 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,762 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 756 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
At the 48th national percentile, Creve Coeur rates elevated 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 Creve Coeur
Creve Coeur's 90.5% 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.
