Avant, OK
Avant, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Avant at the 95th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 282 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Avant at the 97th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Avant's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Avant's 282 counted buildings, 74.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Avant against the rest of the country
Avant's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (82nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (95th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Avant ranks 1,449 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,128 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 151 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 95th percentile nationally, Avant 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 74.5% of Avant 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.
