Webb City, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
96thpercentile nationally

Webb City sits at the 96th 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 84 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Webb City's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.

Where Webb City ranks

Webb City scores 96th nationally and 88th within Oklahoma — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Webb City ranks 1,207 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,741 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 108 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Webb City and the insurance market

Webb City's very high rating (96th 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.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Webb City's 66.7% 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.
