Reed, AR
Reed, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Reed at the 23rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 100 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Reed at the 22nd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Reed's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 22% of Reed's 100 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 78% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Reed compares
Reed scores 23rd nationally and 11th 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, Reed ranks 24,351 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,017 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 549 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Reed and the insurance market
Reed's moderate rating (23rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 78% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Reed gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
