Mansfield, AR
Mansfield wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mansfield at the 85th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 756 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mansfield's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 88th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
756 buildings are counted in Mansfield, and 58.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 41.1% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Mansfield ranks
Mansfield's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (93rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (85th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mansfield ranks 4,715 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,049 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 46 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mansfield
Mansfield's very high rating (85th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Mansfield
Because 58.9% of Mansfield's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Mansfield's 85th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Mansfield, see the exposure-zones guide.
