Where Camp Sherman ranks

What this risk score means for insurance
Camp Sherman 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 95th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Camp Sherman's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
