Iron Post, OK
How exposed is Iron Post to wildfire?
Iron Post sits at the 91st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 102 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Iron Post at the 93rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Iron Post's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 100% of Iron Post's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 102 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Iron Post against the rest of the country
Iron Post's 91st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 53rd ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 38 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Iron Post ranks 2,812 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,970 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 392 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Iron Post
Iron Post's very high rating (91st 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Iron Post's 100% 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.
