Wyatt, MO
Wyatt, MO's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Wyatt at the 7th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 251 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wyatt at the 7th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Wyatt's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Wyatt's buildings (84.9% of 251) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Wyatt compares
Wyatt scores 7th nationally and 5th within Missouri — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wyatt ranks 29,440 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,110 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 1,010 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
At the 7th national percentile, Wyatt rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Wyatt
Wyatt's 84.9% 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.
