Faxon, OK
How exposed is Faxon to wildfire?
USFS scores Faxon at the 87th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 102 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Faxon at the 86th percentile, close to its 87th-percentile risk score.
Where Faxon's buildings actually sit
102 buildings are counted in Faxon, and 78.4% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 21.6% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Faxon against the rest of the country
Faxon's 87th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 38th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 50 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Faxon ranks 3,975 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,968 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 517 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Faxon
At the 87th percentile nationally, Faxon 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Faxon's 78.4% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
