Hanson, OK
Hanson wildfire risk explained
Hanson's 53 buildings earn a 97th-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, Hanson's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
53 buildings are counted in Hanson, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Hanson compares
Hanson's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (92nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (97th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hanson ranks 1,046 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,853 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 71 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Hanson's very high rating (97th 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 Hanson
Because Direct exposure dominates in Hanson (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
