Keno, OR
Keno, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Keno lands at the 97th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 1,479 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Keno at the 97th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Keno's building exposure, zone by zone
88.8% of Keno's 1,479 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 1,314 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 10.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0.5% are Minimal.
How Keno compares
Keno's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (91st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (97th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Keno ranks 891 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,261 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 40 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Keno
Keno's 97th-percentile score lands in Oregon, the only two states requiring a wildfire disclosure at sale. Oregon's own hazard map feeds directly into that disclosure requirement. The disclosure-law guide covers what it requires.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Keno (88.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
