Lamont, OK
Lamont, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lamont at the 20th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 341 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lamont at the 17th percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
Where Lamont's buildings actually sit
Only 7.3% of Lamont's 341 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 92.7% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Lamont ranks
Lamont's 20th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 1st ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 20 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lamont ranks 25,129 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,559 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 828 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Lamont and the insurance market
At the 20th national percentile, Lamont rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Lamont
With 92.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lamont gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Lamont's figures come from
Lamont's 20th-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 Lamont's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
