Covington, OK
How exposed is Covington to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Covington lands at the 40th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 464 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Covington at the 33rd percentile, close to its 40th-percentile risk score.
Where Covington's buildings actually sit
Only 12.3% of Covington's 464 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 87.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Covington against the rest of the country
Covington ranks lower within Oklahoma (3rd percentile statewide) than its 40th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Covington ranks 19,080 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,993 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 813 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Covington and the insurance market
At the 40th national percentile, Covington rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Covington
With 87.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Covington gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Covington's figures come from
Covington's 40th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Covington's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
