Eakly, OK
How exposed is Eakly to wildfire?
USFS scores Eakly at the 72nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 216 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eakly at the 69th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Eakly's buildings actually sit
65.7% of Eakly's 216 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 27.3% Direct and 6.9% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Eakly compares
Eakly's 72nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 12th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 61 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eakly ranks 8,775 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,283 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 738 of 834 places by risk.

Eakly and the insurance market
Eakly's 72nd-percentile, 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.
Hardening a home in Eakly
Because 65.7% of Eakly's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
