Broken Arrow, OK
Broken Arrow, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Broken Arrow at the 72nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 42,882 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 Broken Arrow at the 74th percentile, close to its 72nd-percentile risk score.
Broken Arrow's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 22.4% of Broken Arrow's 42,882 buildings carry Direct exposure and 10.2% carry Indirect; the remaining 67.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 42,882 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Broken Arrow compares
Broken Arrow's 72nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 12th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 61 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Broken Arrow ranks 8,774 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 218 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 737 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 72nd percentile nationally, Broken Arrow 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.
Hardening a home in Broken Arrow
Broken Arrow's 67.4% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Broken Arrow's 72nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Broken Arrow, see the exposure-zones guide.
