Marvell, AR
Marvell, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Marvell at the 28th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 682 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Marvell's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 28th percentile nationally.
Where Marvell's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 78.6% of Marvell's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 21.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Marvell ranks
There's little gap between Marvell's 28th national percentile and its 13th percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Marvell ranks 22,807 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,835 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 533 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Marvell
Marvell's moderate rating (28th 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
Even with 78.6% of Marvell outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
