Little Rock, IA
Little Rock, IA's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Little Rock's 369 buildings earn a 25th-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.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Little Rock at the 20th national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
61.8% of Little Rock's 369 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 38.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Little Rock against the rest of the country
Little Rock scores 25th nationally and 38th within Iowa — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Little Rock ranks 23,792 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,880 by building count (1 is largest). Within Iowa alone, it ranks 634 of 1,017 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Iowa on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 25th national percentile, Little Rock rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Little Rock
With 61.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Little Rock 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
Little Rock's 25th-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 Little Rock, see the exposure-zones guide.
