Sedgwick, AR
Sedgwick, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Sedgwick lands at the 54th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 153 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sedgwick at the 57th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
54.9% of Sedgwick's 153 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 84 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 45.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Sedgwick against the rest of the country
Sedgwick's 54th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 31st ranking inside Arkansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 23 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sedgwick ranks 14,363 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,737 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 423 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Sedgwick and the insurance market
At the 54th national percentile, Sedgwick rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 54.9% of Sedgwick in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
