Woodson Terrace, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Woodson Terrace's 1,895 buildings earn a 31st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Woodson Terrace at the 37th percentile, close to its 31st-percentile risk score.
Where Woodson Terrace's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 99.5% of Woodson Terrace's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 0.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Woodson Terrace against the rest of the country
Inside Missouri, Woodson Terrace sits at just the 10th percentile even though it scores 31st 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, Woodson Terrace ranks 21,742 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,783 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 959 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
Woodson Terrace and the insurance market
Woodson Terrace's moderate wildfire rating (31st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 99.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Woodson Terrace gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
