Wynnewood, OK

How exposed is Wynnewood to wildfire?

Very High
90thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Wynnewood lands at the 90th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,365 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wynnewood at the 91st percentile, close to its 90th-percentile risk score.

Where Wynnewood's buildings actually sit

1,365Total buildings
17.9%Direct exposure
82.1%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Indirect exposure is dominant in Wynnewood (82.1% of 1,365 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 17.9% sit in the Direct zone.

Wynnewood against the rest of the country

Wynnewood's 90th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 50th ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wynnewood ranks 3,032 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,766 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 422 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.

Wynnewood and the insurance market

Wynnewood'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.

What would actually reduce this score

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Wynnewood (82.1% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
