Redbird, OK
Redbird wildfire risk explained
Redbird's 114 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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Redbird's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Redbird's building exposure, zone by zone
114 buildings are counted in Redbird, and 98.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Redbird compares
Redbird's 79th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 18th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 61 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Redbird ranks 6,720 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,469 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 685 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
Redbird's 79th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 98.3% of Redbird 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.
