Douglas, OK
How exposed is Douglas to wildfire?
Douglas sits at the 50th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 75 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Douglas at the 47th percentile, close to its 50th-percentile risk score.
Douglas's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 38.7% of Douglas's 75 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 61.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Douglas ranks
Douglas ranks lower within Oklahoma (5th percentile statewide) than its 50th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Douglas ranks 15,801 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,103 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 792 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Douglas
Douglas's elevated rating (50th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 61.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Douglas gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Douglas's 50th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Douglas, see the exposure-zones guide.
