Dundee, OR
Dundee wildfire risk explained
Dundee sits at the 25th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,347 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dundee at the 27th percentile, close to its 25th-percentile risk score.
Dundee's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Dundee (95.3% of 1,347 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 4.6% sit in the Direct zone.
Dundee against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Dundee's 25th national percentile and its 21st percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dundee ranks 23,618 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,850 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 334 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Dundee and the insurance market
Because Dundee is in Oregon, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 95.3% of Dundee's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Dundee's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Dundee's 23,618-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Dundee's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
