Midwest City, OK
How exposed is Midwest City to wildfire?
USFS scores Midwest City at the 73rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 24,961 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Midwest City's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 74th percentile nationally.
Midwest City's building exposure, zone by zone
Midwest City rates 86.5% Minimal exposure against just 13.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 24,961 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 24,961 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Midwest City against the rest of the country
Midwest City ranks lower within Oklahoma (13th percentile statewide) than its 73rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Midwest City ranks 8,420 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 508 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 730 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Midwest City
At the 73rd percentile nationally, Midwest City carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Midwest City's 86.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Midwest City's 73rd-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 Midwest City, see the exposure-zones guide.
