Monroe, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Monroe's 436 buildings earn a 14th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Monroe at the 16th percentile, close to its 14th-percentile risk score.
Where Monroe's buildings actually sit
436 buildings are counted in Monroe, and 76.4% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 23.6% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Monroe against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Monroe's 14th national percentile and its 7th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Monroe ranks 27,238 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,539 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 392 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Monroe
Monroe sits in Oregon, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. Sellers here disclose wildfire-hazard status before closing, the same number this page reports at the 14th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Monroe's 76.4% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Monroe's 27,238-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Monroe, see the exposure-zones guide.
