Hough, OK
How exposed is Hough to wildfire?
USFS scores Hough at the 93rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 23 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hough at the 93rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Hough's building exposure, zone by zone
65.2% of Hough's 23 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 15 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 34.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal. This is a small settlement by building count — 23 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.
Where Hough ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Hough sits at just the 62nd percentile even though it scores 93rd 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, Hough ranks 2,339 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,437 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 320 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Hough
At the 93rd percentile nationally, Hough 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 Hough
Hough's 65.2% 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
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 23 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Hough. At 23 buildings, Hough is close to the size where USFS's data gets thin — the data-quality guide explains why 517 places nationally get no score at all.
