Baker, OK
How exposed is Baker to wildfire?
USFS scores Baker at the 65th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 72 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Baker's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 62nd percentile nationally.
Where Baker's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 59.7% of Baker's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 40.3% Minimal share — a profile where 43 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Baker ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Baker sits at just the 10th percentile even though it scores 65th 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, Baker ranks 11,102 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,219 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 751 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Baker
At the 65th percentile nationally, Baker carries the 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
Baker's 59.7% 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.
More on how this number was built
Baker's 65th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Baker, see the exposure-zones guide.
