Hollywood wildfire risk explained

Low
1stpercentile nationally

Hollywood's 50 buildings earn a 1st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Hollywood's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

50Total buildings
28%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
72%Minimal exposure

Hollywood rates 72% Minimal exposure against just 28% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 50 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

How Hollywood compares

Hollywood scores 1st nationally and 1st 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, Hollywood ranks 31,153 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,932 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 1,049 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Hollywood

At the 1st national percentile, Hollywood rates low 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

Even with 72% of Hollywood outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.

The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 50 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Hollywood. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hollywood's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
