Cheyenne, OK
How exposed is Cheyenne to wildfire?
Cheyenne sits at the 98th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 678 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Cheyenne's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
Cheyenne's building exposure, zone by zone
678 buildings are counted in Cheyenne, and 86.1% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 13.9% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Cheyenne ranks
Cheyenne's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (96th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (98th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cheyenne ranks 766 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,887 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 32 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cheyenne
Cheyenne's very high rating (98th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Cheyenne
Because 86.1% of Cheyenne's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Cheyenne's figures come from
Cheyenne's 98th-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 Cheyenne's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
