Creswell, OR
Creswell, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Creswell at the 45th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 2,259 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Creswell at the 49th national percentile — 5 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
2,259 buildings are counted in Creswell, and 90% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 10.1% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Creswell against the rest of the country
Creswell's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (41st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (45th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Creswell ranks 17,436 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,797 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 249 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Creswell
Creswell's 45th-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.
Hardening a home in Creswell
Because 90% of Creswell's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Creswell's 45th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Creswell, see the exposure-zones guide.
