Sperry, OK
Sperry wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Sperry lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 707 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Sperry at the 95th percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Sperry's building exposure, zone by zone
52.9% of Sperry's 707 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 374 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 47.1% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Sperry against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Sperry sits at just the 71st percentile even though it scores 94th 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, Sperry ranks 1,992 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,587 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 251 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Sperry
Sperry's 94th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Sperry
Because Direct exposure dominates in Sperry (52.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
