Glasgow, OR
How exposed is Glasgow to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Glasgow at the 41st national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 503 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Glasgow at the 38th national percentile — 2 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
USFS classifies 73.6% of Glasgow's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 25.8% Indirect share and far above its 0.6% Minimal share — a profile where 370 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Glasgow ranks
There's little gap between Glasgow's 41st national percentile and its 36th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glasgow ranks 18,730 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,293 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 268 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Glasgow and the insurance market
Glasgow's 41st-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Glasgow (73.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Glasgow's figures come from
Glasgow's 41st-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 Glasgow's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
