Friendship, OK
Friendship, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Friendship's 27 buildings earn a 68th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Friendship at the 62nd national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Friendship's buildings (70.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Friendship against the rest of the country
Friendship's 68th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 10th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 58 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Friendship ranks 10,095 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,395 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 749 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 68th percentile nationally, Friendship carries the 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 ember exposure the dominant pattern in Friendship (70.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
