Fisk, MO
Fisk, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Fisk sits at the 17th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 248 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fisk at the 17th percentile, close to its 17th-percentile risk score.
Fisk's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 89.5% of Fisk's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 10.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Fisk ranks
There's little gap between Fisk's 17th national percentile and its 6th percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fisk ranks 26,253 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,210 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 994 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fisk
At the 17th national percentile, Fisk rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 89.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fisk gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
