Huntington, AR
Huntington wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Huntington lands at the 87th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 413 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Huntington's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 90th percentile nationally.
Huntington's building exposure, zone by zone
71.2% of Huntington's 413 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 28.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Huntington ranks
There's little gap between Huntington's 87th national percentile and its 95th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huntington ranks 4,212 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,962 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 32 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Huntington and the insurance market
Huntington's very high rating (87th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Huntington (71.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
