Long Creek, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
95thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Long Creek at the 95th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 200 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Long Creek at the 96th percentile, close to its 95th-percentile risk score.

How Long Creek compares

Long Creek scores 95th nationally and 83rd 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, Long Creek ranks 1,646 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,859 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 72 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

Long Creek's 95th-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

Long Creek's 54.5% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
