Tecumseh, OK
Tecumseh, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Tecumseh at the 93rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 3,791 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Tecumseh at the 93rd percentile, close to its 93rd-percentile risk score.
Where Tecumseh's buildings actually sit
50.3% of Tecumseh's 3,791 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,906 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 49.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0.1% are Minimal.
How Tecumseh compares
Tecumseh ranks lower within Oklahoma (62nd percentile statewide) than its 93rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tecumseh ranks 2,305 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,435 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 315 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
Tecumseh's 93rd-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.
Hardening a home in Tecumseh
Because Direct exposure dominates in Tecumseh (50.3%), 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
Tecumseh's 93rd-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 Tecumseh, see the exposure-zones guide.
