Grove, OK
Grove, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Grove's 4,502 buildings earn a 84th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Grove at the 87th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Grove's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 49.8% of Grove's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 28.4% Indirect share and far above its 21.8% Minimal share — a profile where 2,243 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Grove compares
Grove 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, Grove ranks 4,957 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,793 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 583 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Grove
At the 84th percentile nationally, Grove 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.
Hardening a home in Grove
Because Direct exposure dominates in Grove (49.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
