Letona's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Letona's 172 counted buildings, 68.6% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Letona against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Letona's 83rd national percentile and its 89th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Letona ranks 5,505 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,924 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 70 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Letona
Letona's 83rd-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Letona
With 68.6% of Letona 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.
