Langlois, OR
Langlois wildfire risk explained
Langlois's 191 buildings earn a 51st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Langlois at the 48th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Langlois's 191 counted buildings, 50.3% carry Direct exposure and only 3.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Langlois against the rest of the country
Langlois scores 51st nationally and 47th 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, Langlois ranks 15,515 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,219 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 224 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Langlois

Hardening a home in Langlois
With 50.3% of Langlois 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.
