Doe Run, MO

Doe Run, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
65thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Doe Run lands at the 65th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 609 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Doe Run's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 67th percentile nationally.

Where Doe Run ranks

Doe Run and the insurance market

At the 65th percentile nationally, Doe Run carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Doe Run's 78.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
