Burdette, AR
Burdette wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Burdette at the 4th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 124 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Burdette's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 4th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Burdette rates 69.4% Minimal exposure against just 30.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 124 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Burdette ranks
There's little gap between Burdette's 4th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Burdette ranks 30,339 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,972 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 601 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Burdette
Burdette's low rating (4th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Burdette
Burdette's 69.4% 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.
