Fort Hill, OR
How exposed is Fort Hill to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Fort Hill at the 45th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 103 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fort Hill's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 46th percentile nationally.
Where Fort Hill's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Fort Hill: 86.4% of its 103 buildings, versus 13.6% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Fort Hill against the rest of the country
Fort Hill scores 45th nationally and 42nd 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, Fort Hill ranks 17,214 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,919 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 244 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
Because Fort Hill 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
Fort Hill's 86.4% 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.
