Kinta, OK
How exposed is Kinta to wildfire?
Kinta sits at the 97th 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 229 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Kinta at the 99th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 55.9% of Kinta's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 44.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 128 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Kinta compares
Kinta's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (95th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (97th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kinta ranks 828 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,831 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 42 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Kinta
Kinta's very high rating (97th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Kinta's 55.9% 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.
