Monmouth, OR
How exposed is Monmouth to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Monmouth at the 11th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 3,052 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Monmouth's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 13th percentile nationally.
Where Monmouth's buildings actually sit
81.2% of Monmouth's 3,052 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 3.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Monmouth compares
Monmouth's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (4th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (11th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Monmouth ranks 27,967 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,354 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 405 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Monmouth and the insurance market
Monmouth's 11th-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 81.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Monmouth gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Monmouth's 11th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Monmouth, see the exposure-zones guide.
