Macomb, OK

Macomb, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
93rdpercentile nationally

USFS scores Macomb at the 93rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 48 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Macomb at the 94th percentile, close to its 93rd-percentile risk score.

Where Macomb ranks

Macomb's 93rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 64th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 29 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Macomb ranks 2,245 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,983 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 300 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

Macomb's 93rd-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.

Hardening a home in Macomb

Macomb's 64.6% 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

Macomb's 93rd-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 Macomb, see the exposure-zones guide.
