Chiloquin, OR
Chiloquin wildfire risk explained
Chiloquin's 462 buildings earn a 85th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Chiloquin at the 86th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Chiloquin's building exposure, zone by zone
79.7% of Chiloquin's 462 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 20.4% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Chiloquin compares
Chiloquin ranks lower within Oregon (67th percentile statewide) than its 85th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Chiloquin ranks 4,675 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,033 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 140 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
Chiloquin 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 85th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Hardening a home in Chiloquin
Chiloquin's 79.7% 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.
