Edina, MO
Edina, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Edina lands at the 56th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 861 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Edina at the 57th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Edina's building exposure, zone by zone
81.3% of Edina's 861 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 18.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Edina ranks
There's little gap between Edina's 56th national percentile and its 43rd percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edina ranks 13,998 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,069 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 600 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edina
Edina's elevated wildfire rating (56th 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 Edina
Because 81.3% of Edina's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Edina's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Edina's 13,998-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Edina's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
