Pilot Rock, OR
Pilot Rock, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Pilot Rock at the 89th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 823 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Pilot Rock at the 90th national percentile — 2 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
88% of Pilot Rock's 823 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 12% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Pilot Rock against the rest of the country
Inside Oregon, Pilot Rock sits at just the 72nd percentile even though it scores 89th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pilot Rock ranks 3,634 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,418 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 119 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Hardening a home in Pilot Rock
