Oatfield, OR
Oatfield, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Oatfield at the 22nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 5,563 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Oatfield at the 23rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 6.5% of Oatfield's 5,563 buildings carry Direct exposure and 11.2% carry Indirect; the remaining 82.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 5,563 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Oatfield compares
Oatfield scores 22nd nationally and 17th 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, Oatfield ranks 24,531 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,099 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 347 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Oatfield and the insurance market
Because Oatfield 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.
Hardening a home in Oatfield
Oatfield's 82.3% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
