Oak Grove Village, MO
Oak Grove Village wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Oak Grove Village lands at the 60th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 289 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Oak Grove Village at the 62nd percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Where Oak Grove Village's buildings actually sit
289 buildings are counted in Oak Grove Village, and 56.4% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 36% in Direct exposure or the 7.6% rated Minimal.
Oak Grove Village against the rest of the country
Oak Grove Village scores 60th nationally and 55th 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, Oak Grove Village ranks 12,677 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,945 by building count (1 is largest).

Oak Grove Village and the insurance market
At the 60th national percentile, Oak Grove Village rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 56.4% of Oak Grove Village'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.
