Humnoke, AR
Humnoke, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Humnoke at the 40th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 186 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Humnoke's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 41st percentile nationally.
Humnoke's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS puts 60.2% of Humnoke's 186 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 39.8% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Humnoke compares
Humnoke ranks lower within Arkansas (18th percentile statewide) than its 40th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Humnoke ranks 19,054 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,379 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 501 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Humnoke and the insurance market
Humnoke's moderate rating (40th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Humnoke
Humnoke's 60.2% 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.
