Hodgen, OK

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

Very High
93rdpercentile nationally

USFS scores Hodgen at the 93rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 95 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hodgen at the 96th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

95Total buildings
84.2%Direct exposure
15.8%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Of Hodgen's 95 counted buildings, 84.2% 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.

Hodgen against the rest of the country

Hodgen's 93rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 62nd ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 31 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hodgen ranks 2,338 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,286 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 319 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Hodgen and the insurance market

Hodgen's very high rating (93rd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

Hardening a home in Hodgen

With 84.2% of Hodgen 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.

More on how this number was built

Hodgen's 93rd-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 Hodgen, see the exposure-zones guide.
