Armorel, AR
Armorel wildfire risk explained
Armorel's 212 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Armorel at the 5th percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Armorel's building exposure, zone by zone
Armorel rates 64.6% Minimal exposure against just 35.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 212 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Armorel compares
Armorel scores 4th nationally and 3rd within Arkansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Armorel ranks 30,119 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,386 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 597 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Armorel
Armorel's low wildfire rating (4th 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.
Hardening a home in Armorel
With 64.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Armorel gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Armorel's 4th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Armorel, see the exposure-zones guide.
