Oologah, OK
Oologah, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Oologah's 677 buildings earn a 82nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Oologah's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 84th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 65.7% of Oologah's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 34.3% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 445 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Oologah compares
Oologah's 82nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 26th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 56 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oologah ranks 5,619 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,903 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 619 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Oologah
At the 82nd percentile nationally, Oologah 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
With 65.7% of Oologah in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
