Shidler, OK
Shidler, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Shidler lands at the 97th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 441 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Shidler at the 96th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Shidler's buildings actually sit
441 buildings are counted in Shidler, and 77.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 22.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Shidler compares
Shidler scores 97th nationally and 93rd 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, Shidler ranks 1,014 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,444 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 69 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Shidler
Shidler's very high rating (97th 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.
Hardening a home in Shidler
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Shidler (77.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Shidler's figures come from
Shidler's 97th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Shidler's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
