Moro, OR
How exposed is Moro to wildfire?
Moro's 274 buildings earn a 96th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Moro at the 97th national percentile — 1 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
65.3% of Moro's 274 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 34.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Moro compares
There's little gap between Moro's 96th national percentile and its 87th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moro ranks 1,209 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,406 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 56 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
Moro 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 96th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 65.3% of Moro's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
