Antoine, AR
How exposed is Antoine to wildfire?
Antoine sits at the 58th 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 109 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Antoine at the 60th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Antoine's buildings actually sit
Of Antoine's 109 counted buildings, 98.2% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Antoine ranks
Antoine ranks lower within Arkansas (39th percentile statewide) than its 58th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Antoine ranks 13,257 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,648 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 377 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 58th national percentile, Antoine rates elevated 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 Antoine
Antoine's 98.2% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Antoine's figures come from
Antoine's 58th-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 Antoine's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
