Winslow, AR
How exposed is Winslow to wildfire?
USFS scores Winslow at the 88th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 285 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Winslow at the 89th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Winslow: 90.5% of its 285 buildings, versus 9.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Winslow against the rest of the country
Winslow scores 88th nationally and 96th 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, Winslow ranks 3,898 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,027 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 26 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
Winslow's 88th-percentile, very 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.
Hardening a home in Winslow
Winslow's 90.5% 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.
