Caney Ridge, OK
Caney Ridge, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Caney Ridge at the 91st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 94 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Caney Ridge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 93rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Caney Ridge's 94 counted buildings, 86.2% carry Direct exposure and only 3.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Caney Ridge against the rest of the country
Caney Ridge ranks lower within Oklahoma (50th percentile statewide) than its 91st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Caney Ridge ranks 2,998 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,332 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 416 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Caney Ridge
Caney Ridge's very high rating (91st 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.
Hardening a home in Caney Ridge
Because Direct exposure dominates in Caney Ridge (86.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Caney Ridge's figures come from
Caney Ridge's 91st-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 Caney Ridge's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
