Louann, AR
Louann, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Louann at the 52nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 112 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Louann at the 54th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Louann's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Louann (88.4% of 112 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 11.6% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Louann ranks
Inside Arkansas, Louann sits at just the 28th percentile even though it scores 52nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Louann ranks 15,053 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,530 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 444 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Louann
At the 52nd national percentile, Louann rates elevated 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
Louann's 88.4% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Louann's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Louann's 15,053-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Louann's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
