Lakeview, OR
How exposed is Lakeview to wildfire?
USFS scores Lakeview at the 90th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,684 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lakeview at the 90th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lakeview's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Lakeview's buildings (89.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Lakeview ranks
Lakeview's 90th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 75th ranking inside Oregon does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 16 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lakeview ranks 3,156 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,481 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 108 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lakeview
Lakeview 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 90th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 89.2% of Lakeview's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Lakeview's 90th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Lakeview, see the exposure-zones guide.
