New Hope, OR
New Hope, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores New Hope at the 99th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 988 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks New Hope at the 98th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where New Hope's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 97.2% of New Hope's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 2.8% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 960 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where New Hope ranks
New Hope scores 99th nationally and 94th within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, New Hope ranks 484 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,023 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 27 of 420 places by risk.

New Hope and the insurance market
New Hope 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 99th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
New Hope's 97.2% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
