Aline, OK
Aline, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Aline at the 45th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 215 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Aline at the 41st percentile, close to its 45th-percentile risk score.
Where Aline's buildings actually sit
Aline rates 88.8% Minimal exposure against just 11.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 215 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Aline ranks
Aline's 45th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 4th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Aline ranks 17,311 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,318 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 800 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Aline and the insurance market
At the 45th national percentile, Aline rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 88.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Aline gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Aline's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Aline's 17,311-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Aline's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
