Warren, AR
How exposed is Warren to wildfire?
USFS scores Warren at the 54th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 3,402 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 Warren at the 54th percentile, close to its 54th-percentile risk score.
Where Warren's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 75.6% of Warren's 3,402 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 16.6% Direct and 7.8% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Warren against the rest of the country
Inside Arkansas, Warren sits at just the 30th percentile even though it scores 54th 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, Warren ranks 14,613 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,915 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 431 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
Warren's elevated rating (54th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Warren's 75.6% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Warren's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Warren's 14,613-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Warren's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
