Erick, OK
Erick wildfire risk explained
Erick sits at the 92nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 870 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Erick's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 92nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
79.1% of Erick's 870 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 20.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Erick against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Erick sits at just the 59th percentile even though it scores 92nd 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, Erick ranks 2,494 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,992 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 347 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Erick's very high rating (92nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 79.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Erick gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
