Hominy, OK
Hominy, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Hominy at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,561 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hominy at the 99th percentile, close to its 98th-percentile risk score.
Hominy's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Hominy's buildings (71.9%) 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.
Hominy against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Hominy's 98th national percentile and its 97th percentile inside Oklahoma, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hominy ranks 706 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,920 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 27 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Hominy and the insurance market
At the 98th percentile nationally, Hominy 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.
Hardening a home in Hominy
Because 71.9% of Hominy'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.
Where Hominy's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hominy's 706-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hominy's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
