Ringwood, OK
Ringwood wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Ringwood at the 52nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 363 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ringwood at the 50th percentile, close to its 52nd-percentile risk score.
Ringwood's building exposure, zone by zone
76% of Ringwood's 363 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 24% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Ringwood compares
Inside Oklahoma, Ringwood sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 52nd 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, Ringwood ranks 15,010 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,006 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 786 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Ringwood and the insurance market
Ringwood's elevated wildfire rating (52nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Ringwood's 76% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
