Leon, OK
Leon wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Leon lands at the 88th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 82 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Leon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 88th percentile nationally.
Leon's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 69.5% of Leon's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 30.5% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 57 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Leon against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Leon sits at just the 39th percentile even though it scores 88th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Leon ranks 3,884 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,815 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 509 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Leon's very high rating (88th 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.
Hardening a home in Leon
Leon's 69.5% 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.
Where Leon's figures come from
Leon's 88th-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 Leon's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
