Keiser, AR
Keiser wildfire risk explained
Keiser's 392 buildings earn a 5th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Keiser at the 5th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Keiser's buildings (77.6% of 392) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Keiser ranks
There's little gap between Keiser's 5th national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Keiser ranks 29,961 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,361 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 595 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
Keiser's low rating (5th 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
Keiser's 77.6% 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.
