Ozone, AR
Ozone wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Ozone at the 74th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 96 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ozone's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 75th percentile nationally.
Ozone's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Ozone's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 96 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Ozone against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Ozone's 74th national percentile and its 63rd percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ozone ranks 8,057 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,218 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 228 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
Ozone's high rating (74th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Ozone's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Ozone's figures come from
Ozone's 74th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Ozone's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
