Alicia, AR
How exposed is Alicia to wildfire?
Alicia sits at the 53rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 102 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Alicia at the 55th percentile, close to its 53rd-percentile risk score.
Alicia's building exposure, zone by zone
75.5% of Alicia's 102 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 24.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Alicia against the rest of the country
Inside Arkansas, Alicia sits at just the 29th percentile even though it scores 53rd 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, Alicia ranks 14,864 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,934 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 434 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Alicia
At the 53rd national percentile, Alicia rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Alicia (75.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
