Huttig, AR
Huttig wildfire risk explained
Huttig's 346 buildings earn a 56th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Huttig at the 56th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Huttig's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 79.2% of Huttig's 346 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 20.8% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Huttig compares
Huttig's 56th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 35th ranking inside Arkansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 21 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huttig ranks 13,730 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,418 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 398 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Huttig and the insurance market
Huttig's elevated rating (56th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Huttig (79.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Huttig's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Huttig's 13,730-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Huttig's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
