Stamps wildfire risk explained
Stamps's 1,027 buildings earn a 63rd-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Stamps at the 64th percentile, close to its 63rd-percentile risk score.
Where Stamps's buildings actually sit
1,027 buildings are counted in Stamps, and 62.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 37.5% in Direct exposure or the 0.2% rated Minimal.
How Stamps compares
Stamps's 63rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 48th ranking inside Arkansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 16 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stamps ranks 11,523 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,742 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 321 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Stamps and the insurance market
Stamps's high rating (63rd 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 62.3% of Stamps's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
