Where Le Flore ranks
Le Flore's 95th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 79th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 16 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Le Flore ranks 1,582 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,042 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 174 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
Le Flore's 95th-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.
