Clinton's Seismic Design Category, explained

Clinton carries Seismic Design Category B under USGS's ASCE 7-16 model. Low seismic hazard. Code requires basic seismic detailing (bracing, connections) but no special structural system restrictions. Nationally, Clinton ranks above 58% of the 4,875 cities in this dataset for seismic hazard - the 58th percentile.

Where Clinton sits in Oklahoma

The raw figures: peak ground acceleration 0.112g, short-period spectral response 0.203g, 1-second spectral response 0.065g. Among 75 Oklahoma cities in this dataset, Clinton ranks 37 for seismic hazard, the 51th percentile within the state. About 8,355 people live in Clinton, Oklahoma.

What a retrofit costs in Clinton

Outside California, no state-level retrofit grant equivalent to Brace + Bolt could be found for Oklahoma. A typical retrofit still runs $5,000-$10,000 nationally, about $7,000 for a common single-family job.

What this means for insurance

Outside California, earthquake coverage is typically sold as an endorsement added to a standard homeowners policy, not a separate product - worth asking about directly when getting a home-insurance quote for a Clinton address.

More on how this number was built

The methodology guide covers exactly how USGS's public design-maps API produced Clinton's numbers. The guide to what a Seismic Design Category actually means covers why a category is never a substitute for an engineer's assessment of one specific house.
