Jordan Valley, OR
How exposed is Jordan Valley to wildfire?
Jordan Valley sits at the 96th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 292 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Jordan Valley at the 97th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
Where Jordan Valley's buildings actually sit
Of Jordan Valley's 292 counted buildings, 60.6% 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.
Where Jordan Valley ranks

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 60.6% of Jordan Valley 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.
