Beggs, OK
How exposed is Beggs to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Beggs lands at the 91st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 924 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Beggs at the 93rd percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
924 buildings are counted in Beggs, and 60.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Beggs ranks

Shopping for coverage in Beggs
Beggs's very high rating (91st percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 60.8% of Beggs in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Beggs's figures come from
Beggs's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Beggs's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
