Pasadena Park, MO
How exposed is Pasadena Park to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Pasadena Park at the 44th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 305 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Pasadena Park at the 48th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Pasadena Park's buildings actually sit
Most of Pasadena Park's buildings (98.4% of 305) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Pasadena Park against the rest of the country
Pasadena Park ranks lower within Missouri (21st percentile statewide) than its 44th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pasadena Park ranks 17,714 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,504 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 844 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Pasadena Park
Pasadena Park's elevated rating (44th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 98.4% of Pasadena Park outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Pasadena Park's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Pasadena Park's 17,714-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide.
