Lexa, AR
Lexa wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lexa at the 24th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 162 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lexa's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 24th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Lexa's buildings (64.8% of 162) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Lexa against the rest of the country
Lexa scores 24th nationally and 11th 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, Lexa ranks 23,847 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,317 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 545 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
At the 24th national percentile, Lexa 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
With 64.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lexa 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
Lexa's 24th-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 Lexa, see the exposure-zones guide.
