Nyssa, OR
How exposed is Nyssa to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Nyssa lands at the 44th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 1,534 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Nyssa's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 42nd percentile nationally.
Where Nyssa's buildings actually sit
95% of Nyssa's 1,534 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 5% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Nyssa against the rest of the country
Nyssa scores 44th nationally and 40th 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, Nyssa ranks 17,812 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,014 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 254 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Nyssa
Nyssa's 44th-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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 95% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Nyssa gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Nyssa's figures come from
Nyssa's 44th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Nyssa's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
