USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Grantwood Village at the 48th percentile, close to its 44th-percentile risk score.
Where Grantwood Village's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 88.3% of Grantwood Village's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 11.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Grantwood Village ranks
Inside Missouri, Grantwood Village sits at just the 22nd percentile even though it scores 44th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grantwood Village ranks 17,584 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,518 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 827 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
Grantwood Village's elevated rating (44th 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
With 88.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Grantwood Village gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
