Wimer, OR
Wimer wildfire risk explained
Wimer's 602 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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wimer at the 100th percentile, close to its 100th-percentile risk score.
Wimer's building exposure, zone by zone
94.5% of Wimer's 602 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 569 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 5.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
How Wimer compares
There's little gap between Wimer's 100th national percentile and its 99th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wimer ranks 110 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,817 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 6 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Wimer
Wimer 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.
Hardening a home in Wimer
Because Direct exposure dominates in Wimer (94.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Wimer's 100th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Wimer, see the exposure-zones guide.
