Hooker, OK
Hooker wildfire risk explained
Hooker's 1,291 buildings earn a 81st-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Hooker at the 79th percentile, close to its 81st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
90.7% of Hooker's 1,291 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 9.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Hooker compares
Hooker ranks lower within Oklahoma (22nd percentile statewide) than its 81st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hooker ranks 6,119 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,116 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 654 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hooker
At the 81st percentile nationally, Hooker 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 Hooker
Hooker's 90.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Hooker's figures come from
Hooker's 81st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hooker's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
