Mayview, MO
Mayview wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mayview lands at the 47th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 155 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mayview's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 48th percentile nationally.
Mayview's building exposure, zone by zone
Mayview rates 76.1% Minimal exposure against just 23.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 155 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Mayview compares
Inside Missouri, Mayview sits at just the 28th percentile even though it scores 47th 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, Mayview ranks 16,614 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,661 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 772 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mayview
Mayview's elevated rating (47th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Mayview
With 76.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Mayview gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
