Glen Allen, MO
How exposed is Glen Allen to wildfire?
Glen Allen's 72 buildings earn a 57th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glen Allen at the 59th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Glen Allen's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Glen Allen's buildings (76.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Glen Allen ranks
Glen Allen scores 57th nationally and 46th within Missouri — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glen Allen ranks 13,676 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,210 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 576 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Glen Allen
At the 57th national percentile, Glen Allen rates elevated 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
Because 76.4% of Glen Allen's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Glen Allen's 57th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Glen Allen, see the exposure-zones guide.
