Lynn, AR
How exposed is Lynn to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lynn at the 77th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 283 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lynn's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Where Lynn's buildings actually sit
283 buildings are counted in Lynn, and 86.2% 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.
Where Lynn ranks
There's little gap between Lynn's 77th national percentile and its 70th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lynn ranks 7,367 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,082 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 188 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 77th percentile nationally, Lynn 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86.2% of Lynn in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Lynn's figures come from
Lynn's 77th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lynn's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
