Yeager, OK
Yeager wildfire risk explained
Yeager's 57 buildings earn a 98th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Yeager at the 99th percentile, close to its 98th-percentile risk score.
Where Yeager's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Yeager: 100% of its 57 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Yeager compares
Yeager's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (99th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (98th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Yeager ranks 579 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,752 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 17 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Yeager and the insurance market
At the 98th percentile nationally, Yeager carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Yeager in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
