How exposed is Eagleville to wildfire?

High
70thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Eagleville at the 70th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 303 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eagleville at the 71st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

303Total buildings
34%Direct exposure
66%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

66% of Eagleville's 303 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 34% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

How Eagleville compares

There's little gap between Eagleville's 70th national percentile and its 82nd percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

Within Missouri alone, it ranks 189 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.

Eagleville and the insurance market

At the 70th percentile nationally, Eagleville 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

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Eagleville (66% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
