Sand Point, OK
How exposed is Sand Point to wildfire?
Sand Point sits at the 72nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 301 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Sand Point at the 73rd percentile, close to its 72nd-percentile risk score.
Sand Point's building exposure, zone by zone
93.7% of Sand Point's 301 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 282 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 1.3% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 5% are Minimal.
Where Sand Point ranks
Sand Point's 72nd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 12th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 61 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Sand Point ranks 8,703 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,613 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 736 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Sand Point
Sand Point's high rating (72nd 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 Sand Point
Because Direct exposure dominates in Sand Point (93.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Sand Point's 72nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Sand Point, see the exposure-zones guide.
