How exposed is San Marine to wildfire?

Moderate
33rdpercentile nationally

San Marine's 368 buildings earn a 33rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks San Marine at the 31st national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Within Oregon alone, it ranks 286 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

San Marine and the insurance market

San Marine's 33rd-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

San Marine's 59% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
