Christie, OK
Christie, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Christie sits at the 93rd 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 340 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Christie at the 95th national percentile — 2 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
340 buildings are counted in Christie, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Where Christie ranks
Christie ranks lower within Oklahoma (63rd percentile statewide) than its 93rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Christie ranks 2,269 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,582 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 302 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Christie and the insurance market
At the 93rd percentile nationally, Christie carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With 100% of Christie 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.
Where Christie's figures come from
Christie's 93rd-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 Christie's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
