Byng, OK
Byng, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Byng's 914 buildings earn a 92nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Byng at the 93rd percentile, close to its 92nd-percentile risk score.
Where Byng's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Byng: 94.5% of its 914 buildings, versus 5.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Byng compares
Inside Oklahoma, Byng sits at just the 56th percentile even though it scores 92nd 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, Byng ranks 2,616 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,608 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 366 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Byng
Byng's very high rating (92nd 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
Byng's 94.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Byng's figures come from
Byng's 92nd-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 Byng's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
