Crane wildfire risk explained

Very High
98thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Crane at the 98th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 155 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crane at the 99th percentile, close to its 98th-percentile risk score.

Where Crane's buildings actually sit

33.6%Indirect exposure

155 buildings are counted in Crane, and 66.5% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.

How Crane compares

Crane's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (93rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (98th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crane ranks 550 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,679 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 30 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

Crane's 98th-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 66.5% of Crane 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.

Where Crane's figures come from

Every one of the two percentiles behind Crane's 550-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Crane's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
