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

Very High
86thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Glide at the 86th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,243 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Glide at the 86th percentile, close to its 86th-percentile risk score.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

1,243Total buildings
76.1%Direct exposure
23.9%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Direct exposure dominates in Glide: 76.1% of its 1,243 buildings, versus 23.9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Where Glide ranks

Glide ranks lower within Oregon (68th percentile statewide) than its 86th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Glide ranks 4,328 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,384 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 135 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Glide

Glide 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 86th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.

What would actually reduce this score

Glide's 76.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
