Where Fredonia (Biscoe)'s buildings actually sit
USFS puts 59.4% of Fredonia (Biscoe)'s 234 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 40.6% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Fredonia (Biscoe) against the rest of the country
Inside Arkansas, Fredonia (Biscoe) sits at just the 27th percentile even though it scores 51st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

What this risk score means for insurance
At the 51st national percentile, Fredonia (Biscoe) rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 59.4% of Fredonia (Biscoe)'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.
