Bonanza, OR
How exposed is Bonanza to wildfire?
USFS scores Bonanza at the 80th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 288 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bonanza at the 79th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Bonanza's buildings actually sit
288 buildings are counted in Bonanza, and 78.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 21.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Bonanza compares
Inside Oregon, Bonanza sits at just the 61st percentile even though it scores 80th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Bonanza ranks 6,309 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,973 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 164 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Bonanza
Because Bonanza 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 78.8% of Bonanza'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 Bonanza's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Bonanza's 6,309-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Bonanza's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
