Beedeville, AR
Beedeville wildfire risk explained
Beedeville's 87 buildings earn a 45th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Beedeville at the 46th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Beedeville's buildings actually sit
Only 49.4% of Beedeville's 87 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 50.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Beedeville against the rest of the country
Beedeville ranks lower within Arkansas (22nd percentile statewide) than its 45th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Beedeville ranks 17,259 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,604 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 482 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Beedeville and the insurance market
Beedeville's elevated wildfire rating (45th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Beedeville's 50.6% 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.
