Emet, OK
Emet, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Emet lands at the 88th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 63 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Emet's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 89th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
63 buildings are counted in Emet, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Emet compares
Inside Oklahoma, Emet sits at just the 39th percentile even though it scores 88th 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, Emet ranks 3,853 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,554 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 505 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Emet and the insurance market
At the 88th percentile nationally, Emet 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.
Hardening a home in Emet
With 100% of Emet 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
Emet's 88th-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 Emet, see the exposure-zones guide.
