Olustee, OK
Olustee wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Olustee at the 58th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 414 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Olustee at the 53rd national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Olustee's buildings actually sit
Only 30% of Olustee's 414 buildings carry Direct exposure and 32.6% carry Indirect; the remaining 37.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Olustee compares

Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 771 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Olustee
Olustee's elevated wildfire rating (58th 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.
Hardening a home in Olustee
Olustee's 37.4% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Olustee's figures come from
Olustee's 58th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Olustee's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
