Fillmore, MO
How exposed is Fillmore to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fillmore lands at the 47th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 130 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fillmore at the 48th 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
Fillmore rates 53.9% Minimal exposure against just 46.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 130 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Fillmore ranks
Fillmore's 47th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 27th ranking inside Missouri does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 20 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fillmore ranks 16,613 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,719 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 771 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fillmore
Fillmore's elevated rating (47th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Fillmore
With 53.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fillmore gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
