Harrell, AR
How exposed is Harrell to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Harrell at the 56th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 213 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Harrell's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 57th percentile nationally.
Harrell's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Harrell's buildings (70.9%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Harrell compares
Inside Arkansas, Harrell sits at just the 34th 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, Harrell ranks 13,888 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,353 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 403 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Harrell
At the 56th national percentile, Harrell rates elevated 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 Harrell
Harrell's 70.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
