Goltry, OK
How exposed is Goltry to wildfire?
USFS scores Goltry at the 53rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 248 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Goltry at the 50th percentile, close to its 53rd-percentile risk score.
Where Goltry's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 82.7% of Goltry's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 17.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Goltry against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Goltry sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 53rd 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, Goltry ranks 14,789 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,221 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 785 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
Goltry's elevated rating (53rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Goltry
With 82.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Goltry gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Goltry's 53rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Goltry, see the exposure-zones guide.
