Corn, OK

Corn wildfire risk explained

Low
16thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Corn at the 16th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 326 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Corn at the 12th percentile, close to its 16th-percentile risk score.

Corn's building exposure, zone by zone

326Total buildings
6.8%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
93.3%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 93.3% of Corn's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

How Corn compares

Corn ranks lower within Oklahoma (0th percentile statewide) than its 16th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corn ranks 26,514 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,930 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 832 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

Corn's low wildfire rating (16th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.

What would actually reduce this score

Even with 93.3% of Corn outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.

Where Corn's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind Corn's 26,514-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Corn's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
