Lookingglass, OR
How exposed is Lookingglass to wildfire?
USFS scores Lookingglass at the 74th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 910 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 Lookingglass at the 71st percentile, close to its 74th-percentile risk score.
Lookingglass's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Lookingglass: 99.7% of its 910 buildings, versus 0.3% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Where Lookingglass ranks
Lookingglass ranks lower within Oregon (57th percentile statewide) than its 74th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high.

Within Oregon alone, it ranks 179 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lookingglass
Lookingglass's 74th-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 99.7% of Lookingglass 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.
Where Lookingglass's figures come from
Lookingglass's 74th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lookingglass's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
