Wedderburn, OR
How exposed is Wedderburn to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Wedderburn lands at the 85th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 263 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Wedderburn's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 77th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 88.6% of Wedderburn's 263 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 11% Direct and 0.4% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Wedderburn ranks
Wedderburn's 85th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 67th ranking inside Oregon does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 18 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wedderburn ranks 4,770 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,748 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 141 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
Wedderburn'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.
Hardening a home in Wedderburn
Because 88.6% of Wedderburn'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.
More on how this number was built
Wedderburn's 85th-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 Wedderburn, see the exposure-zones guide.
