Tinsman, AR
Tinsman, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Tinsman lands at the 54th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 46 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tinsman's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 55th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Tinsman: 93.5% of its 46 buildings, versus 6.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Tinsman against the rest of the country
Tinsman ranks lower within Arkansas (31st percentile statewide) than its 54th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tinsman ranks 14,457 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,016 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 429 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
At the 54th national percentile, Tinsman rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Tinsman's 93.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Tinsman's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Tinsman, see the exposure-zones guide.
