Armstrong, OK
Armstrong, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Armstrong sits at the 82nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 86 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Armstrong at the 83rd 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
Of Armstrong's 86 counted buildings, 68.6% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Armstrong against the rest of the country
Armstrong's 82nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 25th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 57 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Armstrong ranks 5,742 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,665 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 625 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Armstrong
Armstrong's 82nd-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 Armstrong
Armstrong's 68.6% 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.
