Manchester, OK
Manchester, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Manchester lands at the 49th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 140 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Manchester's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 42nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Manchester rates 72.1% Minimal exposure against just 27.9% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 140 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Manchester against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Manchester sits at just the 5th percentile even though it scores 49th 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, Manchester ranks 16,016 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,298 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 794 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Manchester and the insurance market
Manchester's elevated rating (49th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 72.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Manchester gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Manchester's 49th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Manchester, see the exposure-zones guide.
