Eagle Rock, MO
How exposed is Eagle Rock to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Eagle Rock lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 294 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Eagle Rock at the 75th percentile, close to its 73rd-percentile risk score.
Where Eagle Rock's buildings actually sit
93.9% of Eagle Rock's 294 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 276 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 4.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 2% are Minimal.
