Dennis Acres, MO
How exposed is Dennis Acres to wildfire?
Dennis Acres sits at the 57th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 37 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone.

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dennis Acres at the 59th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Dennis Acres's building exposure, zone by zone
