Tucker, AR
Tucker, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Tucker at the 50th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 124 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Tucker at the 52nd percentile, close to its 50th-percentile risk score.
Tucker's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Tucker (61.3% of 124 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 38.7% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Tucker ranks
Inside Arkansas, Tucker sits at just the 25th percentile even though it scores 50th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tucker ranks 15,840 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,973 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 461 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Tucker and the insurance market
Tucker's elevated wildfire rating (50th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 61.3% of Tucker'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.
Where Tucker's figures come from
Tucker's 50th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Tucker's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
