Mitchellville, AR
Mitchellville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mitchellville lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 180 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Mitchellville at the 5th percentile, close to its 5th-percentile risk score.
Where Mitchellville's buildings actually sit
Mitchellville rates 94.4% Minimal exposure against just 5.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 180 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Mitchellville compares
There's little gap between Mitchellville's 5th national percentile and its 3rd percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mitchellville ranks 30,087 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,609 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 596 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Mitchellville and the insurance market
Mitchellville's low wildfire rating (5th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 94.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Mitchellville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
