Roseburg North, OR
How exposed is Roseburg North to wildfire?
USFS scores Roseburg North at the 68th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 2,237 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Roseburg North at the 63rd percentile, close to its 68th-percentile risk score.
Where Roseburg North's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 86% of Roseburg North's 2,237 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 13.8% Direct and 0.2% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Roseburg North against the rest of the country
Roseburg North's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (54th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (68th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roseburg North ranks 10,251 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,845 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 196 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
Roseburg North 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 68th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Roseburg North's 86% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Roseburg North's 68th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Roseburg North, see the exposure-zones guide.
