Iantha, MO
How exposed is Iantha to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Iantha at the 40th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 138 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Iantha's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 40th percentile nationally.
Where Iantha's buildings actually sit
Iantha rates 75.4% Minimal exposure against just 24.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 138 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Iantha ranks
Inside Missouri, Iantha sits at just the 14th percentile even though it scores 40th 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, Iantha ranks 19,068 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,368 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 912 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
Iantha's moderate rating (40th 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 75.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Iantha gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Iantha's 40th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Iantha, see the exposure-zones guide.
