Hackett, AR
Hackett, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hackett sits at the 92nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 518 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hackett at the 95th percentile, close to its 92nd-percentile risk score.
Where Hackett's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Hackett: 55.6% of its 518 buildings, versus 44.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Hackett against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Hackett's 92nd national percentile and its 99th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hackett ranks 2,635 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,048 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 7 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hackett
Hackett's 92nd-percentile, very 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Hackett's 55.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Hackett's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hackett's 2,635-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hackett's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
