Cimarron City, OK
Cimarron City, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Cimarron City sits at the 81st 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 116 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cimarron City at the 82nd national percentile — 0 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
Direct exposure dominates in Cimarron City: 89.7% of its 116 buildings, versus 10.3% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Cimarron City compares
Inside Oklahoma, Cimarron City sits at just the 24th percentile even though it scores 81st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 637 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Cimarron City
At the 81st percentile nationally, Cimarron City 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 89.7% of Cimarron City 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.
More on how this number was built
Cimarron City's 81st-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 Cimarron City, see the exposure-zones guide.
