Weaubleau, MO
How exposed is Weaubleau to wildfire?
Weaubleau's 377 buildings earn a 80th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Weaubleau's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 82nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
67.6% of Weaubleau's 377 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 32.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Weaubleau ranks
Within Missouri, Weaubleau ranks higher (97th percentile) than it does nationally (80th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Weaubleau ranks 6,302 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,722 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 30 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Weaubleau and the insurance market
At the 80th percentile nationally, Weaubleau carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Weaubleau
Weaubleau's 67.6% 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.
