Oregon, MO
How exposed is Oregon to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Oregon at the 59th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 593 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Oregon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 60th percentile nationally.
Oregon's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 40.6% of Oregon's 593 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 59.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Oregon against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Oregon's 59th national percentile and its 51st percentile inside Missouri, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oregon ranks 13,084 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,928 by building count (1 is largest). Within Missouri alone, it ranks 522 of 1,062 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Missouri on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Oregon's elevated rating (59th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Oregon
Oregon's 59.4% 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.
