Marmaduke, AR
Marmaduke wildfire risk explained
Marmaduke's 654 buildings earn a 29th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Marmaduke's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 30th percentile nationally.
Marmaduke's building exposure, zone by zone
69% of Marmaduke's 654 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 29.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Marmaduke compares
Inside Arkansas, Marmaduke sits at just the 14th percentile even though it scores 29th 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, Marmaduke ranks 22,240 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,145 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 527 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
Marmaduke's moderate rating (29th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Marmaduke's 69% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Marmaduke's figures come from
Marmaduke's 29th-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 Marmaduke's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
