Imbler, OR
How exposed is Imbler to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Imbler at the 23rd national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 236 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Imbler at the 23rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Imbler's building exposure, zone by zone
Imbler rates 79.2% Minimal exposure against just 20.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 236 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Imbler ranks
Imbler scores 23rd nationally and 18th 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, Imbler ranks 24,436 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,611 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 344 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Imbler and the insurance market
Imbler sits in Oregon, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. Sellers here disclose wildfire-hazard status before closing, the same number this page reports at the 23rd national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Hardening a home in Imbler
Even with 79.2% of Imbler outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
