Shedd, OR
Shedd wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Shedd at the 7th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 176 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Shedd at the 9th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Shedd's building exposure, zone by zone
83% of Shedd's 176 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 17.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Shedd against the rest of the country
Shedd's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (1st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (7th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Shedd ranks 29,262 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,800 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 417 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
Shedd's 7th-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.
Hardening a home in Shedd
Shedd's 83% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
