Rogue River, OR
Rogue River, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Rogue River's 1,139 buildings earn a 100th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rogue River at the 99th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Rogue River's building exposure, zone by zone
82.5% of Rogue River's 1,139 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 17.5% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Rogue River ranks
Rogue River scores 100th nationally and 98th 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, Rogue River ranks 165 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,021 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 8 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Rogue River
Rogue River 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 100th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 82.5% of Rogue River's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Rogue River's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Rogue River's 165-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Rogue River's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
