Dennis, OK
How exposed is Dennis to wildfire?
Dennis's 288 buildings earn a 86th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dennis at the 88th percentile, close to its 86th-percentile risk score.
Dennis's building exposure, zone by zone
288 buildings are counted in Dennis, and 94.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 5.9% rated Minimal.
Where Dennis ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Dennis sits at just the 35th percentile even though it scores 86th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dennis ranks 4,291 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,972 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 543 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dennis
Dennis's very high rating (86th 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.
Hardening a home in Dennis
With 94.1% of Dennis in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Dennis's figures come from
Dennis's 86th-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 Dennis's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
