Russellville, AR
Russellville, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Russellville's 11,518 buildings earn a 70th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Russellville at the 74th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Russellville's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Russellville (51.6% of 11,518 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 28% sit in the Direct zone. At 11,518 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Russellville against the rest of the country
Russellville scores 70th nationally and 56th 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, Russellville ranks 9,348 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,365 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 273 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Russellville
Russellville's high rating (70th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Russellville (51.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
