Nash, OK

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

Moderate
31stpercentile nationally

USFS scores Nash at the 31st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 248 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Nash's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.

Where Nash's buildings actually sit

248Total buildings
13.7%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
86.3%Minimal exposure

Most of Nash's buildings (86.3% of 248) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Where Nash ranks

Nash's 31st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 2nd ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 30 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Nash ranks 21,721 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,222 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 821 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Nash and the insurance market

Nash's moderate wildfire rating (31st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

With 86.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Nash gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
