Orient, OR
Orient, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Orient at the 55th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 362 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Orient at the 60th national percentile — 5 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
362 buildings are counted in Orient, and 61.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 38.4% rated Minimal.
Where Orient ranks
Orient scores 55th nationally and 48th 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, Orient ranks 14,254 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,025 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 220 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Orient and the insurance market
Orient 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 55th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Hardening a home in Orient
Orient's 61.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
