Copeland, OK
How exposed is Copeland to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Copeland lands at the 84th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,493 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Copeland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 86th percentile nationally.
Copeland's building exposure, zone by zone
1,493 buildings are counted in Copeland, and 61.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 5.4% rated Minimal.
Where Copeland ranks
Copeland ranks lower within Oklahoma (29th percentile statewide) than its 84th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Copeland ranks 5,145 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,201 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 593 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Copeland
At the 84th percentile nationally, Copeland 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Copeland (61.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Copeland's 84th-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 Copeland, see the exposure-zones guide.
