Turney, MO
Turney, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Turney at the 52nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 133 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Turney at the 52nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Turney's buildings actually sit
Most of Turney's buildings (66.2% of 133) 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.
Turney against the rest of the country
Inside Missouri, Turney sits at just the 36th percentile even though it scores 52nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Turney ranks 15,195 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,585 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 678 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Turney's elevated rating (52nd 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
Turney's 66.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Turney's 52nd-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 Turney, see the exposure-zones guide.
