Corinth, AR
How exposed is Corinth to wildfire?
Corinth's 69 buildings earn a 80th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Corinth's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 84th percentile nationally.
Where Corinth's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 100% of Corinth's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 69 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Corinth ranks
Corinth scores 80th nationally and 80th 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, Corinth ranks 6,417 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,300 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 125 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 80th percentile nationally, Corinth 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.
Hardening a home in Corinth
Because Direct exposure dominates in Corinth (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Corinth's figures come from
Corinth's 80th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Corinth's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
