Waukomis, OK
Waukomis, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Waukomis sits at the 52nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 851 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Waukomis at the 48th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Waukomis's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 35.3% of Waukomis's 851 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 64.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Waukomis ranks
Waukomis ranks lower within Oklahoma (6th percentile statewide) than its 52nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Waukomis ranks 15,077 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,154 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 787 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Waukomis and the insurance market
At the 52nd national percentile, Waukomis rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Waukomis
Waukomis's 64.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
