Vilonia, AR
Vilonia, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Vilonia sits at the 80th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 2,073 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Vilonia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 84th percentile nationally.
Vilonia's building exposure, zone by zone
2,073 buildings are counted in Vilonia, and 79.2% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 1.4% rated Minimal.
Vilonia against the rest of the country
Vilonia scores 80th nationally and 79th within Arkansas — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Vilonia ranks 6,451 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,276 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 130 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Vilonia
Vilonia's 80th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Vilonia's 79.2% 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
Vilonia's 80th-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 Vilonia, see the exposure-zones guide.
