Oilton, OK
How exposed is Oilton to wildfire?
USFS scores Oilton at the 94th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 723 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Oilton at the 96th percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
Oilton's building exposure, zone by zone
55.5% of Oilton's 723 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 44.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Oilton against the rest of the country
Oilton's 94th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 75th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 20 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oilton ranks 1,802 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,414 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 212 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
