Oakland, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Oakland lands at the 62nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 553 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Oakland at the 59th percentile, close to its 62nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Oakland (62% of 553 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 38% sit in the Direct zone.
How Oakland compares
Oakland scores 62nd nationally and 50th 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, Oakland ranks 12,008 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,530 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 211 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Oakland
Because Oakland is in Oregon, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Oakland (62% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Oakland's 12,008-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Oakland, see the exposure-zones guide.
