Neahkahnie, OR
How exposed is Neahkahnie to wildfire?
Neahkahnie sits at the 41st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 386 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Neahkahnie at the 37th percentile, close to its 41st-percentile risk score.
Where Neahkahnie's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Neahkahnie: 53.9% of its 386 buildings, versus 46.1% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Neahkahnie compares
Neahkahnie scores 41st nationally and 37th within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.

Within Oregon alone, it ranks 264 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Neahkahnie and the insurance market
Neahkahnie's 41st-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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Neahkahnie (53.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
