Hillsdale, OK
How exposed is Hillsdale to wildfire?
Hillsdale sits at the 58th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 91 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hillsdale's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 53rd percentile nationally.
Where Hillsdale's buildings actually sit
Most of Hillsdale's buildings (48.4%) 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.
How Hillsdale compares
Inside Oklahoma, Hillsdale sits at just the 8th percentile even though it scores 58th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hillsdale ranks 13,247 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,467 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 770 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Hillsdale and the insurance market
At the 58th national percentile, Hillsdale rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 48.4% of Hillsdale's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
