Norwood Court, MO
Norwood Court, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Norwood Court sits at the 42nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 86 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Norwood Court's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 47th percentile nationally.
Where Norwood Court's buildings actually sit
Norwood Court rates 96.5% Minimal exposure against just 3.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 86 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
