Hattieville, AR
How exposed is Hattieville to wildfire?
Hattieville's 165 buildings earn a 82nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hattieville at the 86th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Hattieville's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Hattieville's 165 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 165 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Hattieville compares
Hattieville scores 82nd nationally and 87th within Arkansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hattieville ranks 5,726 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,206 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 84 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Hattieville and the insurance market
Hattieville's 82nd-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
With 100% of Hattieville 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.
