Goldsby, OK
Goldsby, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Goldsby sits at the 84th 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 1,871 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Goldsby's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 84th percentile nationally.
Goldsby's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Goldsby's 1,871 counted buildings, 74.2% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Goldsby ranks
Goldsby ranks lower within Oklahoma (30th percentile statewide) than its 84th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Goldsby ranks 5,021 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,846 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 587 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
Goldsby's very high rating (84th 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Goldsby (74.2%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
