Wetumka, OK
Wetumka, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Wetumka at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 823 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wetumka at the 99th national percentile — 1 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
823 buildings are counted in Wetumka, and 60.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 39.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Wetumka compares
There's little gap between Wetumka's 98th national percentile and its 96th percentile inside Oklahoma, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wetumka ranks 770 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,417 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 36 of 834 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Wetumka
At the 98th percentile nationally, Wetumka carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 60.3% of Wetumka's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Wetumka's figures come from
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 823 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Wetumka. The exposure-zones guide covers what Wetumka's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
