Tryon, OK
How exposed is Tryon to wildfire?
USFS scores Tryon at the 93rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 359 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tryon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 94th percentile nationally.
Tryon's building exposure, zone by zone
76% of Tryon's 359 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 273 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 24% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Tryon compares
Inside Oklahoma, Tryon sits at just the 63rd percentile even though it scores 93rd 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, Tryon ranks 2,306 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,096 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 316 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Tryon
Tryon's very high rating (93rd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Tryon's 76% 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.
Where Tryon's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Tryon's 2,306-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Tryon's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
