Jones Mills, AR
Jones Mills, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Jones Mills sits at the 71st 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 400 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jones Mills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 73rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Jones Mills's 400 counted buildings, 64% carry Direct exposure and only 4.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Jones Mills ranks
Jones Mills scores 71st nationally and 56th 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, Jones Mills ranks 9,221 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,201 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 270 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
Jones Mills's high rating (71st 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 64% of Jones Mills in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Jones Mills's figures come from
Jones Mills's 71st-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 Jones Mills's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
