Dustin, OK
Dustin wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Dustin at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 281 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dustin at the 99th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Dustin's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 62.3% of Dustin's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 37.4% Indirect share and far above its 0.4% Minimal share — a profile where 175 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Dustin ranks
Dustin scores 98th nationally and 98th within Oklahoma — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dustin ranks 637 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,162 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 22 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dustin
At the 98th percentile nationally, Dustin 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
Dustin's 62.3% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
