Oak Grove, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
26thpercentile nationally

Oak Grove sits at the 26th 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 6,939 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Oak Grove's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 24th percentile nationally.

Where Oak Grove's buildings actually sit

6,939Total buildings
4.5%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
95.5%Minimal exposure

Most of Oak Grove's buildings (95.5% of 6,939) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 6,939 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

How Oak Grove compares

Oak Grove's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (22nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (26th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oak Grove ranks 23,492 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,494 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 329 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Oak Grove

Oak Grove 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 26th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it

With 95.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Oak Grove gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
