Stringtown, OK

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

Very High
95thpercentile nationally

Stringtown sits at the 95th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 399 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Stringtown at the 96th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

399Total buildings
74.7%Direct exposure
25.3%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Of Stringtown's 399 counted buildings, 74.7% 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 Stringtown compares

Inside Oklahoma, Stringtown sits at just the 77th percentile even though it scores 95th 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, Stringtown ranks 1,711 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,236 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 195 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Stringtown and the insurance market

Stringtown's very high rating (95th 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.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Because Direct exposure dominates in Stringtown (74.7%), 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

Stringtown's 95th-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 Stringtown, see the exposure-zones guide.
