How exposed is Crabtree to wildfire?

Moderate
22ndpercentile nationally

USFS scores Crabtree at the 22nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 346 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crabtree at the 26th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Crabtree's building exposure, zone by zone

346Total buildings
48%Direct exposure
52%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Indirect exposure is dominant in Crabtree (52% of 346 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 48% sit in the Direct zone.

Where Crabtree ranks

There's little gap between Crabtree's 22nd national percentile and its 18th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crabtree ranks 24,530 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,433 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 346 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Crabtree and the insurance market

Crabtree 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 22nd national percentile. More on the disclosure law.

What would actually reduce this score

Crabtree's 52% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
