Hendrix, OK

Hendrix, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
74thpercentile nationally

Hendrix's 61 buildings earn a 74th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hendrix at the 75th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

61Total buildings
100%Direct exposure

Direct exposure dominates in Hendrix: 100% of its 61 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Hendrix against the rest of the country

Hendrix's 74th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 13th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 61 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hendrix ranks 8,328 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,634 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 727 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Hendrix and the insurance market

At the 74th percentile nationally, Hendrix carries the 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.

Hardening a home in Hendrix

With 100% of Hendrix in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
