Hopeton, OK
Hopeton wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hopeton lands at the 42nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 45 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hopeton at the 35th national percentile — 6 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Hopeton's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Hopeton's buildings (93.3% of 45) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Hopeton compares
Inside Oklahoma, Hopeton sits at just the 3rd percentile even though it scores 42nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hopeton ranks 18,384 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,058 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 806 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Hopeton's elevated rating (42nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Hopeton's 93.3% 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.
More on how this number was built
Hopeton's 42nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Hopeton, see the exposure-zones guide.
