Enid, OK
Enid, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Enid at the 50th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 25,893 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Enid at the 47th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Enid's building exposure, zone by zone
Enid rates 90.2% Minimal exposure against just 9.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 25,893 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 25,893 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Enid ranks
Enid 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, Enid ranks 15,766 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 483 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 790 of 834 places by risk.

Enid and the insurance market
Enid's elevated wildfire rating (50th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Enid's 90.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Enid's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Enid's 15,766-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Enid's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
