Old Eucha, OK
How exposed is Old Eucha to wildfire?
USFS scores Old Eucha at the 88th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 18 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 Old Eucha at the 90th percentile, close to its 88th-percentile risk score.
Where Old Eucha's buildings actually sit
100% of Old Eucha's 18 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 18 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal. This is a small settlement by building count — 18 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.
Old Eucha against the rest of the country
Old Eucha ranks lower within Oklahoma (41st percentile statewide) than its 88th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Old Eucha ranks 3,726 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,471 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 497 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Old Eucha
Old Eucha's very high rating (88th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Old Eucha 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
Every one of the two percentiles behind Old Eucha's 3,726-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. At 18 buildings, Old Eucha is close to the size where USFS's data gets thin — the data-quality guide explains why 517 places nationally get no score at all.
