McCallsburg, IA
McCallsburg, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
McCallsburg's 227 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts McCallsburg at the 4th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
McCallsburg's building exposure, zone by zone
78.4% of McCallsburg's 227 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 21.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where McCallsburg ranks
McCallsburg scores 4th nationally and 8th within Iowa — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, McCallsburg ranks 30,223 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,885 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 931 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in McCallsburg
At the 4th national percentile, McCallsburg 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
With 78.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, McCallsburg gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
