Long, OK
How exposed is Long to wildfire?
Long sits at the 95th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 344 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Long at the 97th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Long's buildings actually sit
Of Long's 344 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Long ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Long sits at just the 80th percentile even though it scores 95th 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, Long ranks 1,549 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,476 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 169 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Long
Long's very high rating (95th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Long'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.
