Okmulgee, OK
Okmulgee, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Okmulgee at the 93rd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 6,855 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Okmulgee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
Where Okmulgee's buildings actually sit
Most of Okmulgee's buildings (56.9%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone. At 6,855 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Okmulgee against the rest of the country
Okmulgee ranks lower within Oklahoma (66th percentile statewide) than its 93rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Okmulgee ranks 2,145 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,526 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 283 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
At the 93rd percentile nationally, Okmulgee carries the very 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 56.9% of Okmulgee's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
