Jonesburg, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Jonesburg's 529 buildings earn a 54th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jonesburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 55th percentile nationally.
Jonesburg's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Jonesburg (64.3% of 529 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 35.7% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Jonesburg ranks
Jonesburg scores 54th nationally and 40th 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, Jonesburg ranks 14,629 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,879 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 638 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Jonesburg
Jonesburg's elevated wildfire rating (54th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 64.3% of Jonesburg'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.
Where Jonesburg's figures come from
Jonesburg's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Jonesburg's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
