Haskell, OK
Haskell wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Haskell lands at the 84th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,243 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Haskell at the 86th percentile, close to its 84th-percentile risk score.
Where Haskell's buildings actually sit
Most of Haskell's buildings (52.9%) 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.
Where Haskell ranks
Haskell ranks lower within Oklahoma (29th percentile statewide) than its 84th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Haskell ranks 5,086 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,383 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 592 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Haskell and the insurance market
Haskell's very high rating (84th 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 Haskell
Haskell's 52.9% 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.
More on how this number was built
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 1,243 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Haskell. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Haskell, see the exposure-zones guide.
