Comanche, OK

How exposed is Comanche to wildfire?

Very High
93rdpercentile nationally

Comanche's 1,156 buildings earn a 93rd-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 Comanche at the 93rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Comanche's building exposure, zone by zone

1,156Total buildings
30.9%Direct exposure
66.9%Indirect exposure
2.3%Minimal exposure

Indirect exposure is dominant in Comanche (66.9% of 1,156 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 30.9% sit in the Direct zone.

Comanche against the rest of the country

Comanche's 93rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 61st ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 32 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Comanche ranks 2,372 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,909 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 326 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Comanche and the insurance market

Comanche's 93rd-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.

Hardening a home in Comanche

Because 66.9% of Comanche'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.
