Geronimo, OK
Geronimo, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Geronimo at the 89th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 679 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Geronimo at the 89th percentile, close to its 89th-percentile risk score.
Where Geronimo's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 81.9% of Geronimo's 679 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 18.1% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Geronimo ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Geronimo sits at just the 45th percentile even though it scores 89th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Geronimo ranks 3,345 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,876 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 459 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Geronimo
At the 89th percentile nationally, Geronimo 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Geronimo (81.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Geronimo's 89th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Geronimo, see the exposure-zones guide.
