Neotsu, OR
How exposed is Neotsu to wildfire?
USFS scores Neotsu at the 42nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 548 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Neotsu's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 40th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
548 buildings are counted in Neotsu, and 49.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 34.1% in Direct exposure or the 16.6% rated Minimal.
Neotsu against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Neotsu's 42nd national percentile and its 38th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Neotsu ranks 18,230 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,605 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 260 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Neotsu
Neotsu's 42nd-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.
Hardening a home in Neotsu
Because 49.3% of Neotsu'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.
