Williford, AR
Williford, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Williford lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 71 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Williford at the 76th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Williford's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 63.4% of Williford's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 36.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 45 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Williford against the rest of the country
Williford scores 73rd nationally and 60th 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, Williford ranks 8,532 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,233 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 246 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Williford
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Williford carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Williford
