Barber, OK
How exposed is Barber to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Barber lands at the 93rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 236 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Barber's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
Barber's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Barber's 236 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 236 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
