Greasy, OK
How exposed is Greasy to wildfire?
USFS scores Greasy at the 94th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 219 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greasy's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 96th percentile nationally.
Where Greasy's buildings actually sit
100% of Greasy's 219 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 219 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Greasy compares
Greasy's 94th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 72nd ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 21 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greasy ranks 1,922 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,171 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 231 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Greasy and the insurance market
Greasy's 94th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Greasy (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Greasy's 94th-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 Greasy, see the exposure-zones guide.
