Island City, OR
How exposed is Island City to wildfire?
Island City's 693 buildings earn a 60th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Island City at the 62nd percentile, close to its 60th-percentile risk score.
Island City's building exposure, zone by zone
88.9% of Island City's 693 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 11.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Island City against the rest of the country
Island City's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (49th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (60th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Island City ranks 12,707 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,739 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 213 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Island City and the insurance market
Island City's 60th-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 Island City
With 88.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Island City gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Island City's 60th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Island City, see the exposure-zones guide.
