Casa, AR
Casa wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Casa at the 75th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 136 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Casa at the 78th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Casa's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Casa: 75% of its 136 buildings, versus 25% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Casa compares
There's little gap between Casa's 75th national percentile and its 65th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Casa ranks 7,808 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,430 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 212 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
At the 75th percentile nationally, Casa carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Casa's 75% 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.
