Hennepin, OK
How exposed is Hennepin to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hennepin at the 94th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 134 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hennepin's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 94th percentile nationally.
Where Hennepin's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 79.1% of Hennepin's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 20.9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 106 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Hennepin against the rest of the country
Hennepin ranks lower within Oklahoma (71st percentile statewide) than its 94th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hennepin ranks 1,923 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,559 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 232 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hennepin
Hennepin'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 79.1% of Hennepin 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.
Where Hennepin's figures come from
Hennepin'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 Hennepin's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
