Where Daisy ranks

Inside Arkansas, Daisy sits at just the 51st percentile even though it scores 67th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Daisy ranks 10,517 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,017 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 301 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Daisy

At the 67th percentile nationally, Daisy 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 Daisy

With 87.8% of Daisy in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
