Winigan, MO
Winigan, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Winigan at the 69th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 66 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Winigan at the 71st national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Winigan's building exposure, zone by zone
66 buildings are counted in Winigan, and 69.7% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Winigan compares
Winigan's risk sits at a similar level relative to Missouri (80th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (69th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Winigan ranks 9,745 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,432 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 214 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Winigan and the insurance market
At the 69th percentile nationally, Winigan 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 Winigan
With 69.7% of Winigan in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Winigan's figures come from
Winigan's 69th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Winigan's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
