Parkdale, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Parkdale's 210 buildings earn a 99th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Parkdale at the 100th percentile, close to its 99th-percentile risk score.
Parkdale's building exposure, zone by zone
210 buildings are counted in Parkdale, and 62.4% 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.
Parkdale against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Parkdale's 99th national percentile and its 97th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Parkdale ranks 359 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,494 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 17 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
Parkdale 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 99th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 62.4% of Parkdale in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
Where Parkdale's figures come from
Parkdale's 99th-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 Parkdale's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
