Sasakwa, OK
How exposed is Sasakwa to wildfire?
USFS scores Sasakwa at the 92nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 103 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sasakwa at the 94th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Sasakwa's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Sasakwa: 72.8% of its 103 buildings, versus 27.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Sasakwa ranks
Sasakwa ranks lower within Oklahoma (57th 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, Sasakwa ranks 2,560 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,918 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 360 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Sasakwa and the insurance market
Sasakwa's 92nd-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Sasakwa's 72.8% 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.
More on how this number was built
Sasakwa's 92nd-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 Sasakwa, see the exposure-zones guide.
