Beaver Marsh, OR
Beaver Marsh, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Beaver Marsh lands at the 84th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 93 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Beaver Marsh at the 87th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Beaver Marsh's buildings actually sit
Of Beaver Marsh's 93 counted buildings, 83.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
