Wynona, OK
Wynona, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Wynona sits at the 98th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 411 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wynona at the 99th percentile, close to its 98th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
59.4% of Wynona's 411 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 244 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 40.6% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Wynona ranks
Wynona's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (99th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (98th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wynona ranks 517 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,015 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 8 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Wynona and the insurance market
Wynona's 98th-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 59.4% of Wynona in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Wynona's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Wynona's 517-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Wynona's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
