Barview, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Barview's 1,215 buildings earn a 27th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Barview's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 27th percentile nationally.
Where Barview's buildings actually sit
Most of Barview's buildings (86%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Barview ranks
Barview's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (25th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (27th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Barview ranks 23,013 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,562 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 316 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Barview and the insurance market
Because Barview is in Oregon, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 86% of Barview's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Barview's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Barview's 23,013-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Barview's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
