Fountain Hill, AR
How exposed is Fountain Hill to wildfire?
Fountain Hill sits at the 56th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 127 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fountain Hill's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 57th percentile nationally.
Where Fountain Hill's buildings actually sit
58.3% of Fountain Hill's 127 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 41.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Fountain Hill ranks
Inside Arkansas, Fountain Hill sits at just the 35th percentile even though it scores 56th 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, Fountain Hill ranks 13,698 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,835 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 397 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Fountain Hill and the insurance market
At the 56th national percentile, Fountain Hill rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 58.3% of Fountain Hill's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
