Maupin, OR
How exposed is Maupin to wildfire?
USFS scores Maupin at the 98th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 448 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 Maupin at the 99th percentile, close to its 98th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 76.3% of Maupin's 448 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 23.7% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Maupin against the rest of the country
Maupin scores 98th nationally and 92nd within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Maupin ranks 670 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,320 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 36 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Maupin
Maupin's 98th-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Maupin's 76.3% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
