Lehigh, OK
Lehigh, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lehigh at the 97th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 279 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lehigh's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
100% of Lehigh's 279 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 279 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Lehigh against the rest of the country
Lehigh's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (94th 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, Lehigh ranks 924 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,234 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 49 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lehigh
Lehigh's 97th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Lehigh's 100% 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.
