How exposed is Lonerock to wildfire?

Very High
97thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Lonerock at the 97th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 48 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lonerock at the 98th percentile, close to its 97th-percentile risk score.

Where Lonerock ranks

Lonerock'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, Lonerock ranks 927 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,986 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 41 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Lonerock and the insurance market

Because Lonerock is in Oregon, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

Because Direct exposure dominates in Lonerock (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
