Grandin, MO
How exposed is Grandin to wildfire?
Grandin sits at the 72nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 183 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 Grandin at the 74th percentile, close to its 72nd-percentile risk score.
Grandin's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Grandin: 57.4% of its 183 buildings, versus 42.6% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Grandin against the rest of the country
Grandin scores 72nd nationally and 85th 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, Grandin ranks 8,981 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,503 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 163 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Grandin and the insurance market
Grandin's high rating (72nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Grandin (57.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Grandin's 72nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Grandin, see the exposure-zones guide.
