Dunthorpe, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
32ndpercentile nationally

Dunthorpe sits at the 32nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 781 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dunthorpe at the 29th national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Dunthorpe against the rest of the country

Dunthorpe scores 32nd nationally and 30th 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, Dunthorpe ranks 21,437 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,808 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 294 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Dunthorpe

Because Dunthorpe is in Oregon, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.

Hardening a home in Dunthorpe

Because Direct exposure dominates in Dunthorpe (55.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.

More on how this number was built

Dunthorpe's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Dunthorpe, see the exposure-zones guide.
