Bromide, OK
How exposed is Bromide to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Bromide at the 95th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 129 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Bromide's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 96th percentile nationally.
Bromide's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Bromide: 100% of its 129 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Bromide ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Bromide sits at just the 77th percentile even though it scores 95th 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, Bromide ranks 1,676 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,768 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 188 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Bromide and the insurance market
Bromide'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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Bromide (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
