Atkins, AR
Atkins, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Atkins sits at the 78th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,692 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Atkins's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 82nd percentile nationally.
Where Atkins's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 63.8% of Atkins's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 36.2% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 1,079 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Atkins compares
Atkins's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (75th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (78th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Atkins ranks 6,798 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,446 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 151 of 614 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Atkins
Atkins's high rating (78th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Atkins's 63.8% 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.
