Menifee, AR
Menifee wildfire risk explained
Menifee's 230 buildings earn a 73rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Menifee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 77th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Menifee's 230 counted buildings, 91.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Menifee against the rest of the country
Menifee scores 73rd nationally and 60th within Arkansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Menifee ranks 8,531 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,781 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 245 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Menifee and the insurance market
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Menifee 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.
Hardening a home in Menifee
Because Direct exposure dominates in Menifee (91.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
