Canby, OR
Canby wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Canby lands at the 32nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 6,308 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Canby at the 36th percentile, close to its 32nd-percentile risk score.
Canby's building exposure, zone by zone
87.9% of Canby's 6,308 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 3.6% Direct and 8.5% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone. At 6,308 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Canby ranks
There's little gap between Canby's 32nd national percentile and its 29th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Canby ranks 21,565 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,749 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 297 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Canby's 32nd-percentile score lands in Oregon, the only two states requiring a wildfire disclosure at sale. Oregon's own hazard map feeds directly into that disclosure requirement. The disclosure-law guide covers what it requires.
Hardening a home in Canby
Canby's 87.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Canby's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Canby, see the exposure-zones guide.
