East Duke, OK

East Duke, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Elevated
47thpercentile nationally

East Duke sits at the 47th 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 318 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 East Duke at the 42nd percentile, close to its 47th-percentile risk score.

Where East Duke's buildings actually sit

318Total buildings
27.4%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
72.6%Minimal exposure

Only 27.4% of East Duke's 318 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 72.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.

Where East Duke ranks

East Duke ranks lower within Oklahoma (4th percentile statewide) than its 47th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, East Duke ranks 16,869 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,161 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 798 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

East Duke and the insurance market

East Duke's elevated wildfire rating (47th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.

Hardening a home in East Duke

Even with 72.6% of East Duke outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
