Henryetta, OK

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

Very High
97thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Henryetta lands at the 97th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 3,647 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Henryetta's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.

Where Henryetta's buildings actually sit

3,647Total buildings
41.2%Direct exposure
58.8%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

USFS puts 58.8% of Henryetta's 3,647 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 41.2% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.

Where Henryetta ranks

Henryetta scores 97th nationally and 90th within Oklahoma — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Henryetta ranks 1,076 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,590 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 77 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Henryetta and the insurance market

Henryetta's 97th-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.

What would actually reduce this score

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Henryetta (58.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.

More on how this number was built

Henryetta's 97th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Henryetta, see the exposure-zones guide.
