Rose, OK

Rose, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
92ndpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rose at the 92nd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 274 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rose at the 94th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Rose's building exposure, zone by zone

274Total buildings
100%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure

Of Rose's 274 counted buildings, 100% 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.

How Rose compares

Rose ranks lower within Oklahoma (59th percentile statewide) than its 92nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rose ranks 2,431 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,405 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 339 of 834 places by risk.

Rose and the insurance market

Rose's very high rating (92nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

Hardening a home in Rose

Rose's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.

Where Rose's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind Rose's 2,431-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rose's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
