How exposed is Haskell to wildfire?
Haskell's 1,710 buildings earn a 59th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Haskell's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 61st percentile nationally.
Haskell's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Haskell: 68.8% of its 1,710 buildings, versus 31.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Haskell against the rest of the country
Haskell ranks lower within Arkansas (40th percentile statewide) than its 59th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Haskell ranks 13,038 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,382 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 372 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Haskell
At the 59th national percentile, Haskell 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
With 68.8% of Haskell 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.
More on how this number was built
Haskell's 59th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Haskell, see the exposure-zones guide.
