Rondo, AR
How exposed is Rondo to wildfire?
Rondo's 144 buildings earn a 14th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rondo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 14th percentile nationally.
Where Rondo's buildings actually sit
Most of Rondo's buildings (69.4% of 144) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Rondo compares
Rondo's risk sits at a similar level relative to Arkansas (6th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rondo ranks 27,031 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,110 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 575 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Rondo's low rating (14th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 69.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rondo gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Rondo's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rondo's 27,031-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rondo's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
