Fairmont, OK
How exposed is Fairmont to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Fairmont at the 31st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 123 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fairmont at the 26th national percentile — 5 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Fairmont's buildings actually sit
Most of Fairmont's buildings (73.2% of 123) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Fairmont compares
Inside Oklahoma, Fairmont sits at just the 1st percentile even though it scores 31st 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, Fairmont ranks 21,783 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,029 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 823 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fairmont
Fairmont's moderate wildfire rating (31st 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 Fairmont
Fairmont's 73.2% 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.
More on how this number was built
Fairmont's 31st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Fairmont, see the exposure-zones guide.
