Weingarten, MO
Weingarten, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Weingarten lands at the 59th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 118 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Weingarten at the 61st national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Weingarten's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Weingarten's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 118 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
