Allport, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
38thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Allport at the 38th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 62 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Allport's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 38th percentile nationally.

Where Allport's buildings actually sit

62Total buildings
45.2%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
54.8%Minimal exposure

54.8% of Allport's 62 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 45.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.

Where Allport ranks

Allport ranks lower within Arkansas (18th percentile statewide) than its 38th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Allport ranks 19,623 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,566 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 506 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.

Allport and the insurance market

At the 38th national percentile, Allport rates moderate 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

Allport's 54.8% 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.
