Maynard, AR
Maynard, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Maynard at the 73rd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 314 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Maynard at the 77th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Maynard's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Maynard: 78% of its 314 buildings, versus 22% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Maynard against the rest of the country
Maynard's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (61st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (73rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Maynard ranks 8,404 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,247 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 240 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
Maynard's 73rd-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Maynard (78%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
