Bryant, OK
How exposed is Bryant to wildfire?
Bryant sits at the 98th 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 22 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bryant at the 99th percentile, close to its 98th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 100% of Bryant's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 22 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most. This is a small settlement by building count — 22 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.
Bryant against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Bryant's 98th national percentile and its 97th percentile inside Oklahoma, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bryant ranks 703 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,446 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 24 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Bryant and the insurance market
Bryant's very high rating (98th 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 100% of Bryant 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.
More on how this number was built
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 22 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Bryant. At 22 buildings, Bryant is close to the size where USFS's data gets thin — the data-quality guide explains why 517 places nationally get no score at all.
