Turpin, OK
Turpin, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Turpin sits at the 90th 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 315 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Turpin's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 90th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
67.6% of Turpin's 315 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 32.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Turpin ranks
Turpin's 90th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 46th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 44 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Turpin ranks 3,287 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,239 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 452 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Turpin and the insurance market
Turpin's 90th-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
Even with 67.6% of Turpin outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
