Pettit, OK
Pettit, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Pettit's 798 buildings earn a 94th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Pettit's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 96th percentile nationally.
Pettit's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Pettit's 798 counted buildings, 100% 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 Pettit compares
Inside Oklahoma, Pettit sits at just the 74th percentile even though it scores 94th 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, Pettit ranks 1,867 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,654 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 222 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
Pettit's very high rating (94th 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 Pettit 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.
Where Pettit's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Pettit's 1,867-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Pettit's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
