Ryan, OK
How exposed is Ryan to wildfire?
Ryan's 635 buildings earn a 91st-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ryan at the 91st percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
Ryan's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Ryan (59.5% of 635 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 40.5% sit in the Direct zone.
How Ryan compares
Ryan's 91st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 53rd ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 38 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ryan ranks 2,841 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,407 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 397 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ryan
At the 91st percentile nationally, Ryan carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Ryan (59.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
