Dripping Springs's building exposure, zone by zone
100% of Dripping Springs's 42 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 42 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Dripping Springs ranks
Dripping Springs's 91st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 51st ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 40 points.

Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 413 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Dripping Springs and the insurance market
At the 91st percentile nationally, Dripping Springs 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Dripping Springs 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.
More on how this number was built
Dripping Springs's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Dripping Springs, see the exposure-zones guide.
