Gordonville, MO
Gordonville, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Gordonville at the 22nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 347 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Gordonville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 24th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
49.6% of Gordonville's 347 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 172 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 38.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 11.8% are Minimal.
Where Gordonville ranks
Gordonville scores 22nd nationally and 7th 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, Gordonville ranks 24,521 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,401 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 985 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
Gordonville's moderate wildfire rating (22nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Gordonville
With 49.6% of Gordonville in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Gordonville's figures come from
Gordonville's 22nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Gordonville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
