Leach, OK
Leach wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Leach lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 268 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leach at the 95th percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Where Leach's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 98.9% of Leach's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 1.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 265 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Leach compares
Leach's 94th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 68th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 25 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Leach ranks 2,052 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,580 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 263 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Leach
At the 94th percentile nationally, Leach 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 98.9% of Leach in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Leach'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 Leach, see the exposure-zones guide.
