Unionville, MO
How exposed is Unionville to wildfire?
Unionville's 1,336 buildings earn a 71st-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Unionville at the 73rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Unionville's buildings actually sit
1,336 buildings are counted in Unionville, and 74.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 25.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Unionville compares
Unionville scores 71st nationally and 84th within Missouri — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Unionville ranks 9,054 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,903 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 169 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Unionville
Unionville's high rating (71st percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Unionville's 74.8% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Unionville's 71st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Unionville, see the exposure-zones guide.
