Lake Village, AR
How exposed is Lake Village to wildfire?
USFS scores Lake Village at the 21st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,303 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lake Village at the 21st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lake Village's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 48.3% of Lake Village's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 28.8% Direct and 23% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Lake Village compares
Lake Village's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (10th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (21st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lake Village ranks 24,887 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,065 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 552 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lake Village
At the 21st national percentile, Lake Village rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 48.3% of Lake Village outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Lake Village's 21st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Lake Village, see the exposure-zones guide.
