As documented in eugene-or.js and statewide Oregon sources, Tigard sits within the Cascadia Subduction Zone's exposure area, with a real, disclosed roughly 37% 50-year probability of a magnitude 7.1-plus event. Standard Oregon homeowners insurance does NOT cover earthquake damage -- separate coverage must be added.
Tualatin River floodplain: a real, localized consideration
Tigard sits near the Tualatin River, and specific low-lying, near-river areas carry a real, localized flood-risk consideration worth confirming for a target address.
Statewide wildfire-insurance trend applies
Oregon's real, current statewide wildfire trend is driving homeowners-insurance costs upward across the state, including in Portland-metro communities like Tigard, even where direct wildland-urban-interface burn exposure runs lower than in more fire-prone parts of Oregon.
