Glasgow Village, MO
Glasgow Village, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Glasgow Village's 1,901 buildings earn a 42nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Glasgow Village at the 45th percentile, close to its 42nd-percentile risk score.
Where Glasgow Village's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 94% of Glasgow Village's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Glasgow Village compares
Glasgow Village ranks lower within Missouri (17th percentile statewide) than its 42nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glasgow Village ranks 18,217 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,756 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 878 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
Glasgow Village's elevated rating (42nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 94% of Glasgow Village outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Glasgow Village's 42nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Glasgow Village, see the exposure-zones guide.
