Taylor Ferry, OK
Taylor Ferry wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Taylor Ferry lands at the 88th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 929 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Taylor Ferry at the 90th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
