Amity, OR
How exposed is Amity to wildfire?
USFS scores Amity at the 20th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 775 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Amity's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Amity's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Amity's buildings (92.4%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Amity compares
Amity scores 20th nationally and 13th within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Amity ranks 25,196 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,872 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 367 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
Amity 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 20th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Amity (92.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.

The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 775 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Amity. The exposure-zones guide covers what Amity's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
