Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cedar Valley at the 82nd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Cedar Valley's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Cedar Valley: 97.3% of its 188 buildings, versus 2.7% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Cedar Valley against the rest of the country
Cedar Valley's 82nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 26th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 56 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cedar Valley ranks 5,644 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,327 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 621 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Cedar Valley and the insurance market
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Cedar Valley carries the very 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 Cedar Valley
Because Direct exposure dominates in Cedar Valley (97.3%), 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
Cedar Valley's 82nd-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 Cedar Valley, see the exposure-zones guide.
