Vandervoort, AR
Vandervoort, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Vandervoort sits at the 84th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 81 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Vandervoort at the 88th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Vandervoort's buildings actually sit
51.9% of Vandervoort's 81 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 42 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 48.2% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Vandervoort against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Vandervoort's 84th national percentile and its 91st percentile inside Arkansas, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Vandervoort ranks 4,969 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,835 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 55 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Vandervoort
Vandervoort's very high rating (84th 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.
Hardening a home in Vandervoort
Vandervoort's 51.9% 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.
Where Vandervoort's figures come from
Vandervoort's 84th-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 Vandervoort's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
