Curryville, MO
Curryville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Curryville lands at the 33rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 191 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Curryville at the 34th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Curryville's building exposure, zone by zone
83.3% of Curryville's 191 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 16.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Curryville against the rest of the country
Curryville ranks lower within Missouri (10th percentile statewide) than its 33rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Curryville ranks 21,051 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,208 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 955 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
Curryville's moderate wildfire rating (33rd 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 Curryville
With 83.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Curryville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
