Oxly, MO
Oxly, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Oxly's 147 buildings earn a 69th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Oxly at the 72nd percentile, close to its 69th-percentile risk score.
Oxly's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Oxly's 147 counted buildings, 88.4% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Oxly compares
There's little gap between Oxly's 69th national percentile and its 79th percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oxly ranks 9,804 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,991 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 222 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Oxly
At the 69th percentile nationally, Oxly carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Oxly
With 88.4% of Oxly in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
