Gore, OK
Gore, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Gore lands at the 92nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 672 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Gore's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
Where Gore's buildings actually sit
Of Gore's 672 counted buildings, 56.1% carry Direct exposure and only 0.2% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Gore ranks
Gore ranks lower within Oklahoma (60th percentile statewide) than its 92nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Gore ranks 2,427 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,952 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 335 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
Gore's very high rating (92nd 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.
Hardening a home in Gore
Gore's 56.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Gore's 92nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Gore, see the exposure-zones guide.
