Peggs, OK
Peggs wildfire risk explained
Peggs sits at the 93rd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 688 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Peggs's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
Peggs's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Peggs's 688 counted buildings, 98.7% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Peggs compares
Inside Oklahoma, Peggs sits at just the 65th percentile even though it scores 93rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Peggs ranks 2,215 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,783 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 293 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Peggs and the insurance market
Peggs's very high rating (93rd 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.
Hardening a home in Peggs
Peggs's 98.7% 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
Peggs'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 Peggs, see the exposure-zones guide.
