How exposed is Luxora to wildfire?

Moderate
22ndpercentile nationally

Luxora sits at the 22nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 486 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Luxora at the 22nd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Luxora's building exposure, zone by zone

486Total buildings
18.5%Direct exposure
71.2%Indirect exposure
10.3%Minimal exposure

Most of Luxora's buildings (71.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.

Luxora against the rest of the country

There's little gap between Luxora's 22nd national percentile and its 10th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Luxora ranks 24,604 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,597 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 550 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 22nd national percentile, Luxora rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

What would actually reduce this score

Luxora's 71.2% 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 Luxora's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind Luxora's 24,604-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Luxora's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
