Ingalls, OK
Ingalls, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ingalls lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 196 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Ingalls's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 96th percentile nationally.
Where Ingalls's buildings actually sit
Of Ingalls's 196 counted buildings, 99.5% 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.
Where Ingalls ranks
Ingalls ranks lower within Oklahoma (75th percentile statewide) than its 94th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ingalls ranks 1,764 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,010 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 205 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Ingalls and the insurance market
Ingalls's 94th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Ingalls
Because Direct exposure dominates in Ingalls (99.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
