Lahoma, OK
How exposed is Lahoma to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lahoma lands at the 26th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 370 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 Lahoma at the 22nd percentile, close to its 26th-percentile risk score.
Where Lahoma's buildings actually sit
Most of Lahoma's buildings (98.1% of 370) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Lahoma ranks
Lahoma ranks lower within Oklahoma (1st percentile statewide) than its 26th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lahoma ranks 23,302 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,864 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 825 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Lahoma and the insurance market
Lahoma's moderate wildfire rating (26th 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 Lahoma
With 98.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lahoma gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Lahoma's figures come from
Lahoma's 26th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lahoma's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
