West Point, AR
West Point, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
West Point sits at the 67th 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 113 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, West Point's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 68th percentile nationally.
Where West Point's buildings actually sit
113 buildings are counted in West Point, and 93.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
West Point against the rest of the country
West Point's 67th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 52nd ranking inside Arkansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 15 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, West Point ranks 10,294 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,488 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 294 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
West Point and the insurance market
West Point's high rating (67th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.8% of West Point in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
West Point's 67th-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 West Point, see the exposure-zones guide.
