Lawtonka Acres, OK
Lawtonka Acres wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Lawtonka Acres lands at the 94th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 185 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lawtonka Acres at the 94th national percentile — 0 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
Direct exposure dominates in Lawtonka Acres: 54.6% of its 185 buildings, versus 37.3% Indirect and 8.1% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
