Peoria, OK
Peoria wildfire risk explained
Peoria's 112 buildings earn a 79th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Peoria at the 81st national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Peoria's building exposure, zone by zone
91.1% of Peoria's 112 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 102 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 8.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Peoria compares
Inside Oklahoma, Peoria sits at just the 19th percentile even though it scores 79th 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, Peoria ranks 6,530 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,557 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 677 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
Peoria's high rating (79th 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
Peoria's 91.1% 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.
