Greentop, MO
How exposed is Greentop to wildfire?
Greentop's 306 buildings earn a 70th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greentop's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 71st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
57.8% of Greentop's 306 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 42.2% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Greentop against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Greentop's 70th national percentile and its 81st percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greentop ranks 9,616 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,476 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 202 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greentop
Greentop's 70th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 57.8% of Greentop'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.
