Birdsong, AR
Birdsong wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Birdsong at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 31 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Birdsong at the 4th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Birdsong's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 25.8% of Birdsong's 31 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 74.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Birdsong ranks
Birdsong scores 4th nationally and 2nd 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, Birdsong ranks 30,245 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,338 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 599 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
Birdsong'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 Birdsong
With 74.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Birdsong 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
Birdsong'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 Birdsong, see the exposure-zones guide.
