Wrightsville, AR
Wrightsville, AR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Wrightsville lands at the 57th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 541 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wrightsville at the 59th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Wrightsville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Wrightsville's buildings (65.1%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Wrightsville against the rest of the country
Inside Arkansas, Wrightsville sits at just the 38th percentile even though it scores 57th 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, Wrightsville ranks 13,387 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,694 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 384 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
Wrightsville's elevated wildfire rating (57th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 65.1% of Wrightsville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
