Jennings Lodge, OR
How exposed is Jennings Lodge to wildfire?
Jennings Lodge's 2,823 buildings earn a 14th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jennings Lodge at the 14th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Jennings Lodge's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 96.2% of Jennings Lodge's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 3.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Jennings Lodge ranks
Jennings Lodge's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (6th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (14th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jennings Lodge ranks 27,274 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,719 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 394 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
Jennings Lodge 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 14th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 96.2% of Jennings Lodge 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.
Where Jennings Lodge's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Jennings Lodge's 27,274-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Jennings Lodge's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
