Redfield, AR
How exposed is Redfield to wildfire?
Redfield sits at the 61st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 718 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Redfield at the 61st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Redfield's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 58.8% of Redfield's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 41.2% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 422 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Redfield ranks
Inside Arkansas, Redfield sits at just the 43rd percentile even though it scores 61st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Redfield ranks 12,281 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,470 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 348 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Redfield and the insurance market
Redfield's 61st-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.
