Snyder, OK

Snyder, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
81stpercentile nationally

Snyder sits at the 81st 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 976 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Snyder at the 79th national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

976Total buildings
5%Direct exposure
9.9%Indirect exposure
85%Minimal exposure

Most of Snyder's buildings (85% of 976) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.

Where Snyder ranks

Inside Oklahoma, Snyder sits at just the 22nd percentile even though it scores 81st 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, Snyder ranks 5,967 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,101 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 647 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

At the 81st percentile nationally, Snyder 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.

Hardening a home in Snyder

Snyder's 85% 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.

More on how this number was built

Snyder's 81st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Snyder, see the exposure-zones guide.
