Butteville, OR
How exposed is Butteville to wildfire?
Butteville's 226 buildings earn a 32nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Butteville at the 35th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Butteville's building exposure, zone by zone
77.4% of Butteville's 226 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 175 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 20.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 1.8% are Minimal.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Butteville's 77.4% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
