LaGrange, AR
How exposed is LaGrange to wildfire?
LaGrange's 57 buildings earn a 39th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, LaGrange's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 41st percentile nationally.
Where LaGrange's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 54.4% of LaGrange's 57 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 38.6% Direct and 7% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where LaGrange ranks
Inside Arkansas, LaGrange sits at just the 18th percentile even though it scores 39th 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, LaGrange ranks 19,118 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,733 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 502 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
LaGrange and the insurance market
LaGrange's moderate wildfire rating (39th 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 LaGrange
Because 54.4% of LaGrange's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
