Boardman, OR
Boardman wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Boardman at the 81st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,195 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Boardman's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 80th percentile nationally.
Boardman's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 27% of Boardman's 1,195 buildings carry Direct exposure and 25.9% carry Indirect; the remaining 47.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Boardman ranks
Boardman's 81st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 62nd ranking inside Oregon does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 19 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Boardman ranks 6,027 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,678 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 160 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Boardman and the insurance market
Boardman's 81st-percentile score lands in Oregon, the only two states requiring a wildfire disclosure at sale. Oregon's own hazard map feeds directly into that disclosure requirement. The disclosure-law guide covers what it requires.
What would actually reduce this score
With 47.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Boardman gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
