Freedom, OK
Freedom wildfire risk explained
Freedom sits at the 99th 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 252 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Freedom at the 99th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Freedom's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 84.1% of Freedom's 252 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 15.9% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
How Freedom compares
There's little gap between Freedom's 99th national percentile and its 100th percentile inside Oklahoma, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Freedom ranks 385 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,083 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 2 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Freedom
Freedom's very high rating (99th 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.
Hardening a home in Freedom
Because 84.1% of Freedom's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
