Boley, OK

Boley, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
95thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Boley lands at the 95th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 271 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 Boley at the 96th percentile, close to its 95th-percentile risk score.

Where Boley's buildings actually sit

271Total buildings
69.7%Direct exposure
30.3%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Of Boley's 271 counted buildings, 69.7% 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.

How Boley compares

Boley's 95th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 80th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 15 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Boley ranks 1,548 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,481 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 168 of 834 places by risk.

Boley and the insurance market

Boley's very high rating (95th 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

Because Direct exposure dominates in Boley (69.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
