Gilmore, AR
How exposed is Gilmore to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Gilmore lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 155 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Gilmore's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
Gilmore's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 31% of Gilmore's 155 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 69% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Gilmore against the rest of the country
Gilmore's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (3rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (5th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Gilmore ranks 29,930 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,644 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 594 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Gilmore and the insurance market
At the 5th national percentile, Gilmore rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Gilmore
Gilmore's 69% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
