Strasburg, MO
How exposed is Strasburg to wildfire?
USFS scores Strasburg at the 50th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 98 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Strasburg at the 51st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

USFS classifies 55.1% of Strasburg's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 44.9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 54 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
