Kingsland against the rest of the country
Kingsland's 57th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 37th 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, Kingsland ranks 13,479 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,525 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 390 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
Kingsland's elevated wildfire rating (57th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 52.4% of Kingsland 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.
