Tyrone wildfire risk explained

High
63rdpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Tyrone at the 63rd national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 537 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Tyrone at the 59th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Where Tyrone's buildings actually sit

537Total buildings
22%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
78%Minimal exposure

Only 22% of Tyrone's 537 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 78% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

Where Tyrone ranks

Inside Oklahoma, Tyrone sits at just the 9th percentile even though it scores 63rd 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, Tyrone ranks 11,608 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,769 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 756 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Tyrone and the insurance market

Tyrone's high rating (63rd 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

Even with 78% of Tyrone outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
