Rockport, AR
Rockport wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Rockport at the 61st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 478 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rockport at the 63rd percentile, close to its 61st-percentile risk score.
Where Rockport's buildings actually sit
478 buildings are counted in Rockport, and 92.7% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Rockport against the rest of the country
Rockport ranks lower within Arkansas (43rd percentile statewide) than its 61st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rockport ranks 12,344 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,740 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 351 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Rockport and the insurance market
Rockport's high rating (61st 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Rockport (92.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Rockport's figures come from
Rockport's 61st-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 Rockport's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
