Reydon, OK
How exposed is Reydon to wildfire?
USFS scores Reydon at the 99th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 201 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Reydon at the 99th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
57.2% of Reydon's 201 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 42.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Reydon compares
Reydon scores 99th nationally and 100th within Oklahoma — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Reydon ranks 386 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,811 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 3 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Reydon and the insurance market
Reydon's 99th-percentile, very 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Reydon's 57.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
