Roland, OK
Roland, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Roland lands at the 91st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,591 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Roland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 94th percentile nationally.
Roland's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Roland's buildings (56.7%) 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.
Roland against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Roland sits at just the 54th percentile even though it scores 91st nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roland ranks 2,717 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,799 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 385 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 91st percentile nationally, Roland 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
Because 56.7% of Roland'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.
Where Roland's figures come from
Roland'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 Roland's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
