Idanha, OR
How exposed is Idanha to wildfire?
USFS scores Idanha at the 77th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 141 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Idanha at the 78th percentile, close to its 77th-percentile risk score.
Where Idanha's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 87.9% of Idanha's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 12.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 124 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Idanha compares
Idanha's 77th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 59th ranking inside Oregon does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 17 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Idanha ranks 7,381 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,261 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 172 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Idanha and the insurance market
Because Idanha 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 87.9% of Idanha 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.
