Drasco, AR
Drasco wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Drasco lands at the 84th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 159 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Drasco at the 87th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Drasco's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Drasco's 159 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Shopping for coverage in Drasco
Drasco's very high rating (84th 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.
