Chenoweth, OR
Chenoweth, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Chenoweth sits at the 98th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 944 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Chenoweth at the 99th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Chenoweth's buildings actually sit
Most of Chenoweth's buildings (56.8%) 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.
How Chenoweth compares
Chenoweth scores 98th nationally and 92nd within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Chenoweth ranks 639 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,356 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 34 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
Chenoweth's 98th-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 Chenoweth
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Chenoweth (56.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
