Fair Oaks, OR
Fair Oaks, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Fair Oaks sits at the 83rd 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 251 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fair Oaks at the 81st national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 100% of Fair Oaks's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 251 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Fair Oaks compares
Inside Oregon, Fair Oaks sits at just the 64th percentile even though it scores 83rd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fair Oaks ranks 5,305 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,115 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 150 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Fair Oaks and the insurance market
Fair Oaks's 83rd-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Fair Oaks's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
