Langley, OK
How exposed is Langley to wildfire?
USFS scores Langley at the 87th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 647 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 Langley at the 89th percentile, close to its 87th-percentile risk score.
Where Langley's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 50.2% of Langley's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 47.6% Indirect share and far above its 2.2% Minimal share — a profile where 325 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Langley against the rest of the country
Langley ranks lower within Oklahoma (36th percentile statewide) than its 87th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Langley ranks 4,168 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,236 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 532 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Langley and the insurance market
Langley's very high rating (87th 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
With 50.2% of Langley in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Langley's 87th-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 Langley, see the exposure-zones guide.
