Estacada, OR
Estacada, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Estacada lands at the 70th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,655 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Estacada at the 73rd national percentile — 3 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
USFS puts 73.5% of Estacada's 1,655 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 26.5% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Estacada against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Estacada's 70th national percentile and its 55th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Estacada ranks 9,430 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,575 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 189 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
Estacada 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 70th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 73.5% of Estacada'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
Estacada's 70th-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 Estacada, see the exposure-zones guide.
