Lyons, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Lyons at the 66th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 766 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lyons at the 67th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
55% of Lyons's 766 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 45% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Lyons against the rest of the country
Lyons's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (53rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (66th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lyons ranks 10,819 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,957 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 200 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Lyons and the insurance market
Lyons's 66th-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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Lyons (55% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
