Mission, OR
How exposed is Mission to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Mission at the 88th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 495 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mission at the 91st national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Mission's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 54.3% of Mission's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 39.2% Indirect share and far above its 6.5% Minimal share — a profile where 269 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Mission against the rest of the country
Mission ranks lower within Oregon (71st percentile statewide) than its 88th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mission ranks 3,697 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,447 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 121 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
Mission 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 88th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Mission (54.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Mission's 88th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Mission, see the exposure-zones guide.
