Cascadia, OR
Cascadia, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Cascadia sits at the 82nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 117 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Cascadia at the 82nd percentile, close to its 82nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 100% of Cascadia's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 117 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Cascadia ranks
Inside Oregon, Cascadia sits at just the 64th percentile even though it scores 82nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cascadia ranks 5,559 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,326 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 153 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
Cascadia's 82nd-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Cascadia in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Cascadia's 82nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Cascadia, see the exposure-zones guide.
