Marlene Village, OR
Marlene Village wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Marlene Village lands at the 10th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,889 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Marlene Village at the 10th percentile, close to its 10th-percentile risk score.
Marlene Village's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 98.6% of Marlene Village's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 1.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Marlene Village against the rest of the country
