Canadian Shores, OK
Canadian Shores, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Canadian Shores at the 97th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 222 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Canadian Shores at the 98th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 100% of Canadian Shores's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 222 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Canadian Shores compares
Canadian Shores's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (92nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (97th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Canadian Shores ranks 1,009 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,060 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 64 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Canadian Shores and the insurance market
Canadian Shores's 97th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Canadian Shores 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.
