Wynne, AR
Wynne wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Wynne at the 44th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 4,189 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Wynne's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 46th percentile nationally.
Where Wynne's buildings actually sit
51.8% of Wynne's 4,189 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 18.1% Direct and 30.1% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Wynne ranks
Wynne's 44th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 21st ranking inside Arkansas does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 23 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wynne ranks 17,702 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,068 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 489 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
Wynne's elevated wildfire rating (44th 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.
Hardening a home in Wynne
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Wynne (51.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
