Foreman, AR
How exposed is Foreman to wildfire?
Foreman sits at the 72nd 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 743 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Foreman at the 75th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Foreman's 743 counted buildings, 65.7% 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.
How Foreman compares
There's little gap between Foreman's 72nd national percentile and its 59th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Foreman ranks 8,812 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,190 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 254 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Foreman
Foreman's high rating (72nd 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.
Hardening a home in Foreman
Because Direct exposure dominates in Foreman (65.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Foreman's 72nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Foreman, see the exposure-zones guide.
