Government Camp, OR
How exposed is Government Camp to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Government Camp at the 97th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 427 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Government Camp at the 97th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Government Camp's 427 counted buildings, 67.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Government Camp against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Government Camp's 97th national percentile and its 87th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Government Camp ranks 1,110 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,717 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 53 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Government Camp and the insurance market
Government Camp's 97th-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Government Camp (67.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
