Gracemont, OK
How exposed is Gracemont to wildfire?
USFS scores Gracemont at the 94th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 234 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Gracemont's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
Where Gracemont's buildings actually sit
Most of Gracemont's buildings (74.8%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Gracemont compares
Inside Oklahoma, Gracemont sits at just the 73rd percentile even though it scores 94th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Gracemont ranks 1,921 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,682 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 230 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Gracemont
Gracemont's 94th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Gracemont (74.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Gracemont's figures come from
Gracemont's 94th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Gracemont's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
