Crawfordsville, AR
Crawfordsville, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Crawfordsville at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 285 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crawfordsville at the 3rd percentile, close to its 3rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 72.6% of Crawfordsville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 27.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Crawfordsville ranks
Crawfordsville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (3rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crawfordsville ranks 30,686 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,026 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 606 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Crawfordsville and the insurance market
At the 3rd national percentile, Crawfordsville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 72.6% of Crawfordsville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
