Ozark Acres, AR
Ozark Acres, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ozark Acres lands at the 71st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 524 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ozark Acres's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 74th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
524 buildings are counted in Ozark Acres, and 99.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0.4% rated Minimal.
How Ozark Acres compares
Ozark Acres scores 71st nationally and 57th 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, Ozark Acres ranks 9,160 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,957 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 268 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ozark Acres
Ozark Acres's 71st-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.

With 99.4% of Ozark Acres in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Ozark Acres's figures come from
