Cameron, OK
How exposed is Cameron to wildfire?
Cameron's 262 buildings earn a 94th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cameron at the 97th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
58% of Cameron's 262 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 152 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 42% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Cameron against the rest of the country
Cameron ranks lower within Oklahoma (74th percentile statewide) than its 94th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cameron ranks 1,832 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,781 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 214 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Cameron and the insurance market
Cameron's 94th-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
With 58% of Cameron 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.
Where Cameron's figures come from
Cameron's 94th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Cameron's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
