Spavinaw, OK
Spavinaw, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Spavinaw sits at the 88th 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 266 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Spavinaw's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 90th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Spavinaw's 266 counted buildings, 55.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Spavinaw compares
Inside Oklahoma, Spavinaw sits at just the 41st percentile even though it scores 88th 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, Spavinaw ranks 3,695 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,647 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 496 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Spavinaw
At the 88th percentile nationally, Spavinaw 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
Spavinaw's 55.3% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
