Wildfires 2020

This map shows the wildfires at their largest point in 2020.

Wildfires 2020 Compared to Previous Years

I’ll add this later on.

COVID

Darker blue = more cases per capita

COVID Cases: September 1

COVID Cases: October 1

COVID Cases: November 1

Communities

The yellow polygons show the borders of communities in Oregon and Siskiyou counties.

Percent of Mobile Housing

This shows basically the same thing (i.e. yellow = community boundaries), but darker yellow indicates a higher percentage of units that are mobile housing. I broke the communities into thirds so the darkest yellow is the top third of communities, middle third is a medium yellow, bottom third (i.e. lowest percentage of mobile homes) is the lightest yellow. Click on any community to see the percentage of mobile homes.

Time from Communities to Nearest Hospital

I calculated the driving time from the center of each community to the closest hospital. Then, I plotted each community on the map using the same yellow color scheme from mobile housing (i.e. break communities into thirds, darker yellow = farther from hospital). These times are approximate as we can’t calculate this for every address in every community, but it gives a good overall sense.

Hospitals

This shows hospitals in Oregon and Siskiyou. The darker green shows rural hospitals, as taken from the Oregon Office of Rural Health (while Siskiyou hospitals are likely rural as well, I don’t have data from California to classify them).

Clinics

At this point, I only have data for clinics from California. If you know of any source for Oregon data, please let me know. I’ve done some searching and haven’t turned up anything.

Combined Map

This map shows all of the above maps in a single map, with the ability to filter out certain layers. The community-level layers (communities, mobile housing, and distance to nearest hospital) overlap so if you want to see those, you’ll want to just select one.
