Bridgeport, OK
Bridgeport wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Bridgeport at the 86th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 88 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bridgeport at the 86th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Bridgeport's buildings actually sit
88 buildings are counted in Bridgeport, and 76.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Bridgeport compares
Inside Oklahoma, Bridgeport sits at just the 35th percentile even though it scores 86th 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, Bridgeport ranks 4,326 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,589 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 545 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Bridgeport and the insurance market
Bridgeport's 86th-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Bridgeport (76.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Bridgeport's 86th-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 Bridgeport, see the exposure-zones guide.
