Jet, OK
Jet, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jet lands at the 55th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 238 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jet at the 51st national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Jet's buildings actually sit
Jet rates 92% Minimal exposure against just 8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 238 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Jet ranks
Jet ranks lower within Oklahoma (7th percentile statewide) than its 55th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jet ranks 14,102 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,540 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 776 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Jet
Jet'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 92% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Jet gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Jet's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Jet's 14,102-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Jet's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
