Triplett, MO
Triplett wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Triplett at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 61 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Triplett at the 38th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 13.1% of Triplett's 61 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 86.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Triplett against the rest of the country
Triplett's 38th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 12th ranking inside Missouri does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 25 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Triplett ranks 19,633 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,628 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 932 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Triplett
At the 38th national percentile, Triplett rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Triplett
With 86.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Triplett gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Triplett's 38th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Triplett, see the exposure-zones guide.
