How exposed is Rattan to wildfire?
Rattan's 290 buildings earn a 91st-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Rattan at the 94th percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 93.1% of Rattan's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 6.9% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 270 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Rattan against the rest of the country
Rattan ranks lower within Oklahoma (54th percentile statewide) than its 91st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rattan ranks 2,742 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,917 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 387 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rattan
Rattan's 91st-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Rattan
Because Direct exposure dominates in Rattan (93.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Rattan's figures come from
Rattan's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rattan's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
