Crawfordsville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Crawfordsville at the 60th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 303 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crawfordsville at the 62nd percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Crawfordsville's building exposure, zone by zone
79.2% of Crawfordsville's 303 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 240 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 20.8% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Crawfordsville against the rest of the country
Crawfordsville scores 60th nationally and 49th within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.

Within Oregon alone, it ranks 215 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Crawfordsville and the insurance market
Crawfordsville's 60th-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
Crawfordsville's 79.2% 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.
