Glencoe, OK
Glencoe, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Glencoe's 399 buildings earn a 95th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glencoe's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 96th percentile nationally.
Where Glencoe's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Glencoe (60.2% of 399 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 39.9% sit in the Direct zone.
How Glencoe compares
Glencoe ranks lower within Oklahoma (76th percentile statewide) than its 95th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glencoe ranks 1,738 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,235 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 198 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Glencoe
At the 95th percentile nationally, Glencoe 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
Glencoe's 60.2% 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.
Where Glencoe's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Glencoe's 1,738-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Glencoe's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
