Separately from the risk score above, Paisley's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 88th percentile nationally.
Where Paisley's buildings actually sit
251 buildings are counted in Paisley, and 72.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Paisley compares
Paisley ranks lower within Oregon (69th percentile statewide) than its 87th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Paisley ranks 4,170 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,116 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 132 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
Paisley 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 87th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Hardening a home in Paisley
Because Direct exposure dominates in Paisley (72.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Paisley's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Paisley's 4,170-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Paisley's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
