Clinton, OK
Clinton, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Clinton's 4,662 buildings earn a 78th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Clinton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 76th percentile nationally.
Clinton's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 78.8% of Clinton's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 8.4% Direct and 12.8% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Clinton compares
Clinton's 78th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 17th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 61 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clinton ranks 6,941 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,648 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 691 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Clinton
Clinton's 78th-percentile, 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.
Hardening a home in Clinton
With 78.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Clinton gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Clinton's 78th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Clinton, see the exposure-zones guide.
