Pronghorn, OR
How exposed is Pronghorn to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Pronghorn lands at the 85th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 128 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Pronghorn's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 84th percentile nationally.
Where Pronghorn's buildings actually sit
87.5% of Pronghorn's 128 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 112 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 12.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Pronghorn against the rest of the country
Pronghorn ranks lower within Oregon (66th percentile statewide) than its 85th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Pronghorn ranks 4,798 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,818 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 142 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Pronghorn's 85th-percentile score lands in Oregon, the only two states requiring a wildfire disclosure at sale. Oregon's own hazard map feeds directly into that disclosure requirement. The disclosure-law guide covers what it requires.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 87.5% of Pronghorn in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Pronghorn's 4,798-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Pronghorn, see the exposure-zones guide.
