Hitchcock, OK
Hitchcock, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hitchcock sits at the 82nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 109 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hitchcock's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Hitchcock's building exposure, zone by zone
82.6% of Hitchcock's 109 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 17.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Hitchcock ranks
Hitchcock's 82nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 24th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 57 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hitchcock ranks 5,805 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,671 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 629 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hitchcock
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Hitchcock carries the very 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Hitchcock's 82.6% 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.
