Dilley, OR
Dilley wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Dilley lands at the 23rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 256 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Dilley at the 23rd percentile, close to its 23rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
50.8% of Dilley's 256 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 49.2% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Dilley against the rest of the country
Dilley scores 23rd nationally and 18th within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dilley ranks 24,405 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,955 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 343 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
Dilley 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 23rd national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Dilley (50.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
