Pyatt, AR
Pyatt wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Pyatt at the 81st national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 159 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Pyatt at the 84th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Pyatt's 159 counted buildings, 86.2% 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.
Where Pyatt ranks
Pyatt's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (83rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (81st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pyatt ranks 6,045 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,467 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 107 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Pyatt
At the 81st percentile nationally, Pyatt carries the very 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 Pyatt
With 86.2% of Pyatt 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.
More on how this number was built
Pyatt's 81st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Pyatt, see the exposure-zones guide.
