Brogan, OR
Brogan wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Brogan at the 94th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 119 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Brogan's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 94th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Brogan's 119 counted buildings, 56.3% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Brogan against the rest of the country
Brogan's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (83rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (94th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brogan ranks 1,771 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,210 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 74 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Brogan and the insurance market
Brogan sits in Oregon, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. Sellers here disclose wildfire-hazard status before closing, the same number this page reports at the 94th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 56.3% of Brogan 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.
