Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 81 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Quinton and the insurance market
At the 97th percentile nationally, Quinton 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Quinton (62.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
