Wilson, OK
Wilson, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Wilson at the 90th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,293 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Wilson's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 91st percentile nationally.
Wilson's building exposure, zone by zone
1,293 buildings are counted in Wilson, and 61.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 38.7% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Where Wilson ranks
Wilson ranks lower within Oklahoma (49th percentile statewide) than its 90th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wilson ranks 3,066 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,106 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 426 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
Wilson'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.
Hardening a home in Wilson
Because 61.3% of Wilson'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.
