Jefferson, OK
Jefferson, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jefferson lands at the 55th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 54 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 Jefferson at the 49th percentile, close to its 55th-percentile risk score.
Where Jefferson's buildings actually sit
Of Jefferson's 54 counted buildings, 59.3% carry Direct exposure and only 33.3% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Jefferson compares
Inside Oklahoma, Jefferson sits at just the 7th percentile even though it scores 55th 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, Jefferson ranks 14,131 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,832 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 777 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Jefferson
Jefferson's elevated wildfire rating (55th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Jefferson
Jefferson's 59.3% 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
Jefferson's 55th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Jefferson, see the exposure-zones guide.
