How Diaz compares
Inside Arkansas, Diaz sits at just the 37th percentile even though it scores 57th 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, Diaz ranks 13,449 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,111 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 387 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 57th national percentile, Diaz rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
