Danville, AR
Danville, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Danville sits at the 75th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,050 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 Danville at the 80th percentile, close to its 75th-percentile risk score.
Where Danville's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 51% of Danville's 1,050 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 49% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Danville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Danville's 75th national percentile and its 66th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Danville ranks 7,775 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,593 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 211 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Danville and the insurance market
Danville's high rating (75th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 51% of Danville'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.
