Dunthorpe, OR
Dunthorpe, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
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.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
55.1% of Dunthorpe's 781 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 430 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 0% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 44.9% are Minimal.
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.
