Where Valley Park's buildings actually sit
24 buildings are counted in Valley Park, and 100% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal. This is a small settlement by building count — 24 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.
Valley Park against the rest of the country
Inside Oklahoma, Valley Park sits at just the 17th percentile even though it scores 78th 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, Valley Park ranks 6,944 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 31,430 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 694 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Valley Park
Valley Park's 78th-percentile, 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
With 100% of Valley Park in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Valley Park's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Valley Park's 6,944-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. Small places like Valley Park (24 buildings) are exactly where USFS's underlying data gets sparsest — see the data-quality guide for the 517 places that didn't clear the bar.
