Little Rock, MN
Little Rock wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Little Rock lands at the 71st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 508 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Little Rock at the 69th percentile, close to its 71st-percentile risk score.
Little Rock's building exposure, zone by zone
508 buildings are counted in Little Rock, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.

Shopping for coverage in Little Rock
At the 71st percentile nationally, Little Rock carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Little Rock's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
