Jacksonport, AR
Jacksonport wildfire risk explained
Jacksonport sits at the 62nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 142 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Jacksonport at the 64th percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
Jacksonport's building exposure, zone by zone
142 buildings are counted in Jacksonport, and 62.7% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Jacksonport against the rest of the country
Inside Arkansas, Jacksonport sits at just the 45th percentile even though it scores 62nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jacksonport ranks 11,963 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,188 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 338 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 62nd percentile nationally, Jacksonport carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Jacksonport (62.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Jacksonport's figures come from
Jacksonport's 62nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Jacksonport's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
