Boise City, OK
Boise City, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Boise City sits at the 84th 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 1,288 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Boise City at the 84th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Boise City's buildings actually sit
Boise City rates 87.8% Minimal exposure against just 12.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 1,288 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Boise City ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Boise City sits at just the 30th percentile even though it scores 84th 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, Boise City ranks 4,925 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,140 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 581 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 84th percentile nationally, Boise City carries the very 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.
Hardening a home in Boise City
With 87.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Boise City gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
