Fairview, OK
How exposed is Fairview to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fairview lands at the 73rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,901 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fairview at the 69th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 6.5% of Fairview's 1,901 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0.2% carry Indirect; the remaining 93.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Fairview compares
Fairview's 73rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 12th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 61 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fairview ranks 8,615 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,758 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 735 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fairview
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Fairview carries the 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fairview gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
