Drain, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Drain's 621 buildings earn a 58th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Drain at the 55th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Drain's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Drain (82.3% of 621 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 17.7% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Drain ranks
Drain scores 58th nationally and 48th 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, Drain ranks 13,124 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,548 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 217 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
Drain 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 58th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Hardening a home in Drain
Drain's 82.3% 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.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Drain's 13,124-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Drain, see the exposure-zones guide.
