Yoncalla, OR
How exposed is Yoncalla to wildfire?
Yoncalla's 670 buildings earn a 64th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Yoncalla's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 63rd percentile nationally.
Where Yoncalla's buildings actually sit
71.9% of Yoncalla's 670 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 28.1% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Yoncalla (71.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Yoncalla's figures come from
Yoncalla's 64th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Yoncalla's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
