Edmondson, AR
How exposed is Edmondson to wildfire?
Edmondson sits at the 15th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 222 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 Edmondson at the 14th percentile, close to its 15th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 36% of Edmondson's 222 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 64% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Edmondson compares
Edmondson's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (7th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (15th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edmondson ranks 26,811 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,043 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 569 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Edmondson
Edmondson's low wildfire rating (15th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 64% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Edmondson gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Edmondson's 15th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Edmondson, see the exposure-zones guide.
