Hebo, OR
Hebo, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hebo lands at the 47th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 191 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hebo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 46th percentile nationally.
Hebo's building exposure, zone by zone
68.1% of Hebo's 191 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 130 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 31.9% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Hebo ranks
Hebo scores 47th nationally and 43rd 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, Hebo ranks 16,807 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,218 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 238 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Hebo and the insurance market
Because Hebo 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
With 68.1% of Hebo in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hebo's 16,807-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Hebo, see the exposure-zones guide.
