Newberg, OR
Newberg, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Newberg sits at the 32nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 7,930 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 Newberg at the 34th percentile, close to its 32nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Newberg rates 58.9% Minimal exposure against just 2.4% Direct and 38.7% Indirect — of 7,930 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 7,930 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Newberg against the rest of the country
Newberg scores 32nd nationally and 30th 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, Newberg ranks 21,405 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,135 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 293 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
Newberg's 32nd-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 58.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Newberg gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Newberg's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Newberg's 21,405-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Newberg's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
