Leachville, AR
Leachville, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Leachville sits at the 3rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,146 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leachville at the 3rd percentile, close to its 3rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 27.8% of Leachville's 1,146 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 72.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Leachville compares
Leachville scores 3rd nationally and 2nd 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, Leachville ranks 30,593 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,981 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 605 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
Leachville's low rating (3rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 72.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Leachville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Leachville's 3rd-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 Leachville, see the exposure-zones guide.
