Greenbrier, AR
Greenbrier wildfire risk explained
Greenbrier's 2,553 buildings earn a 80th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Greenbrier at the 84th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Greenbrier's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Greenbrier's 2,553 counted buildings, 63.3% 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.
Greenbrier against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Greenbrier's 80th national percentile and its 80th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows.

Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 126 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Greenbrier
Greenbrier's 80th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.

With 63.3% of Greenbrier in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
