Inola, OK
Inola, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Inola lands at the 80th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,058 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Inola at the 81st percentile, close to its 80th-percentile risk score.
Where Inola's buildings actually sit
1,058 buildings are counted in Inola, and 48.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 43.9% rated Minimal.
Where Inola ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Inola sits at just the 20th percentile even though it scores 80th 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, Inola ranks 6,375 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,542 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 667 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
Inola's high rating (80th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Inola
Because Direct exposure dominates in Inola (48.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Inola's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Inola's 6,375-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Inola's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
