Burlington, OK
Burlington wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Burlington at the 4th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 140 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 Burlington at the 3rd percentile, close to its 4th-percentile risk score.
Burlington's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 9.3% of Burlington's 140 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 90.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Burlington compares
Burlington's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (0th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (4th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Burlington ranks 30,273 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,296 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 834 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
Burlington's low rating (4th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Burlington
Burlington's 90.7% 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.
