Copan, OK
Copan, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Copan sits at the 79th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 586 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Copan's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Where Copan's buildings actually sit
586 buildings are counted in Copan, and 60.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Copan compares
Copan's 79th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 19th 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, Copan ranks 6,628 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,024 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 681 of 834 places by risk.
