Jericho, AR
Jericho wildfire risk explained
Jericho's 63 buildings earn a 3rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jericho's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.
Where Jericho's buildings actually sit
Only 19.1% of Jericho's 63 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 81% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Jericho against the rest of the country
Jericho's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (2nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (3rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jericho ranks 30,592 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,533 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 604 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Jericho
Jericho's low wildfire rating (3rd 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.
Hardening a home in Jericho
Jericho's 81% 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.
