Crescent, OK
Crescent wildfire risk explained
Crescent sits at the 81st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 921 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crescent at the 80th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Crescent's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Crescent's buildings (72% of 921) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Crescent ranks
Crescent's 81st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 22nd ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 59 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crescent ranks 6,089 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,550 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 652 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crescent
At the 81st percentile nationally, Crescent 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
With 72% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Crescent gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
