Oktaha, OK
How exposed is Oktaha to wildfire?
USFS scores Oktaha at the 90th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 203 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Oktaha's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 92nd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Oktaha's 203 counted buildings, 75.9% 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 Oktaha ranks
Oktaha ranks lower within Oklahoma (49th percentile statewide) than its 90th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oktaha ranks 3,095 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,744 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 429 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Oktaha
At the 90th percentile nationally, Oktaha 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.
Hardening a home in Oktaha
Because Direct exposure dominates in Oktaha (75.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
