Glenpool, OK
How exposed is Glenpool to wildfire?
Glenpool sits at the 87th 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 5,203 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glenpool's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 89th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
69% of Glenpool's 5,203 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 29.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 5,203 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Glenpool compares
Glenpool ranks lower within Oklahoma (38th percentile statewide) than its 87th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glenpool ranks 3,977 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,311 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 519 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Glenpool
Glenpool's very high rating (87th 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 Glenpool
With 69% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Glenpool gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

Every one of the two percentiles behind Glenpool's 3,977-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Glenpool's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
