Edmundson, MO
Edmundson, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Edmundson's 349 buildings earn a 26th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Edmundson at the 33rd national percentile — 7 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
Only 0.9% of Edmundson's 349 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 99.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Edmundson against the rest of the country
Inside Missouri, Edmundson sits at just the 8th percentile even though it scores 26th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edmundson ranks 23,327 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,342 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 975 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
At the 26th national percentile, Edmundson rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Edmundson's 99.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
