Slaughterville, OK
Slaughterville wildfire risk explained
Slaughterville sits at the 89th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,008 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Slaughterville at the 89th percentile, close to its 89th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
3,008 buildings are counted in Slaughterville, and 97.9% 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.
Slaughterville against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Slaughterville sits at just the 43rd percentile even though it scores 89th 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, Slaughterville ranks 3,535 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,425 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 482 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Slaughterville and the insurance market
At the 89th percentile nationally, Slaughterville 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Slaughterville (97.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
