Coburg, OR
Coburg wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Coburg at the 43rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 712 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Coburg's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 46th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
97.8% of Coburg's 712 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 2.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Coburg compares
Coburg's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (39th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (43rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Coburg ranks 17,977 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,541 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 256 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Coburg and the insurance market
Coburg 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 43rd national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Coburg (97.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
