Warrensburg, MO
Warrensburg, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Warrensburg sits at the 52nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 5,725 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Warrensburg at the 53rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Warrensburg's building exposure, zone by zone
Warrensburg rates 51.2% Minimal exposure against just 24.8% Direct and 24% Indirect — of 5,725 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 5,725 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Warrensburg against the rest of the country
Inside Missouri, Warrensburg 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, Warrensburg ranks 15,223 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,022 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 679 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
Warrensburg'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.
Hardening a home in Warrensburg
Warrensburg's 51.2% 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.
