Yukon, OK
How exposed is Yukon to wildfire?
Yukon's 10,278 buildings earn a 81st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Yukon at the 78th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Yukon's buildings actually sit
73.2% of Yukon's 10,278 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 9.5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 10,278 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Yukon ranks
Yukon ranks lower within Oklahoma (21st percentile statewide) than its 81st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Yukon ranks 6,154 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,560 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 656 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
At the 81st percentile nationally, Yukon 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
Yukon's 73.2% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Yukon's 81st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Yukon, see the exposure-zones guide.
