College Station, AR
College Station, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
College Station sits at the 50th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 427 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts College Station at the 52nd percentile, close to its 50th-percentile risk score.
Where College Station's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in College Station (45.7% of 427 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 34% sit in the Direct zone.
College Station against the rest of the country
College Station's 50th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 25th ranking inside Arkansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 25 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, College Station ranks 15,777 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,706 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 459 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
College Station and the insurance market
College Station's elevated rating (50th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 45.7% of College Station's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
College Station's 50th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond College Station, see the exposure-zones guide.
