Jasper, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jasper lands at the 49th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 627 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jasper at the 52nd national percentile — 4 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
Of Jasper's 627 counted buildings, 68.4% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Jasper against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Jasper's 49th national percentile and its 45th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jasper ranks 16,181 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,485 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 231 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
Jasper'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Jasper's 68.4% 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.
Where Jasper's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Jasper's 16,181-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Jasper's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
