Malin, OR
Malin wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Malin at the 59th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 355 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Malin at the 61st percentile, close to its 59th-percentile risk score.
Malin's building exposure, zone by zone
Malin rates 78.9% Minimal exposure against just 16.6% Direct and 4.5% Indirect — of 355 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Malin against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Malin's 59th national percentile and its 49th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Malin ranks 12,995 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,197 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 216 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Malin
Malin 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 59th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
What would actually reduce this score
Malin's 78.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Malin's 59th-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 Malin, see the exposure-zones guide.
