Pindall, AR
Pindall, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Pindall sits at the 83rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 103 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Pindall at the 86th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Pindall's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Pindall's 103 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 103 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Pindall compares
Pindall's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (89th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (83rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 68 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Pindall
Pindall's 83rd-percentile, very 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.
Hardening a home in Pindall
Pindall'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.
