Wyandotte, OK
How exposed is Wyandotte to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Wyandotte lands at the 80th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 336 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wyandotte at the 83rd national percentile — 2 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
Of Wyandotte's 336 counted buildings, 72% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Where Wyandotte ranks
Inside Oklahoma, Wyandotte sits at just the 21st percentile even though it scores 80th 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, Wyandotte ranks 6,186 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,683 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 659 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Wyandotte and the insurance market
At the 80th percentile nationally, Wyandotte 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
Wyandotte's 72% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
Where Wyandotte's figures come from
Wyandotte's 80th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Wyandotte's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
