Garibaldi, OR
Garibaldi wildfire risk explained
Garibaldi's 733 buildings earn a 49th-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 Garibaldi at the 45th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Garibaldi's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Garibaldi (82.7% of 733 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 16.9% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Garibaldi ranks
Garibaldi's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (46th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (49th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Garibaldi ranks 16,017 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,298 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 229 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Garibaldi
Garibaldi's 49th-percentile score lands in Oregon, the only two states requiring a wildfire disclosure at sale. Oregon's own hazard map feeds directly into that disclosure requirement. The disclosure-law guide covers what it requires.
Hardening a home in Garibaldi
Because 82.7% of Garibaldi'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.
Where Garibaldi's figures come from
Garibaldi's 49th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Garibaldi's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
