Hitchita, OK
Hitchita, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hitchita's 83 buildings earn a 92nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hitchita's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 94th percentile nationally.
Where Hitchita's buildings actually sit
Of Hitchita's 83 counted buildings, 77.1% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Hitchita ranks
Hitchita's 92nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 58th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 34 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hitchita ranks 2,527 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,778 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 353 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Hitchita and the insurance market
Hitchita's 92nd-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.
Hardening a home in Hitchita
Hitchita's 77.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Hitchita's 92nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Hitchita, see the exposure-zones guide.
