Coweta wildfire risk explained

High
77thpercentile nationally

Coweta's 4,440 buildings earn a 77th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Coweta's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 79th percentile nationally.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

4,440Total buildings
39.4%Direct exposure
54.1%Indirect exposure
6.5%Minimal exposure

Most of Coweta's buildings (54.1%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.

Where Coweta ranks

Coweta's 77th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 16th 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, Coweta ranks 7,130 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,844 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 698 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

Coweta's high rating (77th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

What would actually reduce this score

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Coweta (54.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
