Rockcreek, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
8thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Rockcreek at the 8th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 3,185 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rockcreek at the 10th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Rockcreek rates 97.6% Minimal exposure against just 2.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 3,185 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Rockcreek against the rest of the country

What would actually reduce this score

With 97.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Rockcreek gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
