Delight, AR
Delight, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Delight at the 62nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 295 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Delight at the 64th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Delight's building exposure, zone by zone
295 buildings are counted in Delight, and 52.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 47.1% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Delight ranks
Inside Arkansas, Delight sits at just the 44th percentile even though it scores 62nd 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, Delight ranks 12,060 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,749 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 344 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 62nd percentile nationally, Delight 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
Delight's 52.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Delight's figures come from
Delight's 62nd-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 Delight's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
