Achille, OK
Achille, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Achille at the 76th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 359 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Achille at the 77th percentile, close to its 76th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Achille's buildings (54%) 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.
Achille against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Achille sits at just the 15th percentile even though it scores 76th 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, Achille ranks 7,694 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,093 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 710 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 76th percentile nationally, Achille 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 54% of Achille'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.
