Crystal Springs, AR
Crystal Springs, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Crystal Springs lands at the 75th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 145 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crystal Springs at the 78th percentile, close to its 75th-percentile risk score.
Where Crystal Springs's buildings actually sit
145 buildings are counted in Crystal Springs, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Crystal Springs against the rest of the country
Crystal Springs scores 75th nationally and 65th 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, Crystal Springs ranks 7,901 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,061 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 218 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, Crystal Springs 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Crystal Springs (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Crystal Springs's figures come from
Crystal Springs's 75th-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 Crystal Springs's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
