Hunter, AR
Hunter, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hunter at the 25th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 118 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hunter's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
Hunter's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 63.6% of Hunter's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 36.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Hunter against the rest of the country
Hunter scores 25th nationally and 12th 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, Hunter ranks 23,532 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,230 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 541 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hunter
Hunter's moderate wildfire rating (25th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Hunter's 63.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
