Oak Hills, OR
Oak Hills, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Oak Hills sits at the 14th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,413 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Oak Hills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 15th percentile nationally.
Where Oak Hills's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 99.4% of Oak Hills's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 0.6% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Oak Hills compares
Oak Hills scores 14th nationally and 8th 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, Oak Hills ranks 27,144 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,901 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 389 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Oak Hills and the insurance market
Oak Hills 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 14th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Hardening a home in Oak Hills
Even with 99.4% of Oak Hills outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
