Fox, OK
Fox wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fox lands at the 87th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 118 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fox at the 88th 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 61.9% of Fox's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 38.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 73 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Fox ranks
Fox ranks lower within Oklahoma (37th percentile statewide) than its 87th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fox ranks 4,138 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,268 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 530 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Fox and the insurance market
Fox's very high rating (87th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 61.9% of Fox 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 Fox's figures come from
Fox's 87th-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 Fox's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
