Mapleton, OR
Mapleton, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mapleton lands at the 61st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 299 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Mapleton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Where Mapleton's buildings actually sit
Of Mapleton's 299 counted buildings, 71.9% 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.
Where Mapleton ranks
There's little gap between Mapleton's 61st national percentile and its 50th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mapleton ranks 12,301 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,663 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 212 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
