Edinburg, MO
Edinburg, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Edinburg lands at the 66th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 91 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Edinburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 68th percentile nationally.
Where Edinburg's buildings actually sit
60.4% of Edinburg's 91 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 55 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 39.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Edinburg ranks
Edinburg's risk sits at a similar level relative to Missouri (71st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (66th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edinburg ranks 10,872 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,451 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 310 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Edinburg's 66th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Edinburg's 60.4% 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.
