West Peavine, OK
West Peavine wildfire risk explained
West Peavine sits at the 93rd 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 221 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts West Peavine at the 95th percentile, close to its 93rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 100% of West Peavine's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 221 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
West Peavine against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, West Peavine sits at just the 66th 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, West Peavine ranks 2,182 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,093 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 288 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
West Peavine and the insurance market
West Peavine's 93rd-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in West Peavine (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where West Peavine's figures come from
West Peavine's 93rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what West Peavine's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
