Spray, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Spray lands at the 96th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 204 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Spray at the 96th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
Spray's building exposure, zone by zone
61.3% of Spray's 204 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 38.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Spray compares
There's little gap between Spray's 96th national percentile and its 87th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Spray ranks 1,242 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,705 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 57 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
Because Spray is in Oregon, a wildfire-hazard disclosure is legally required before a sale closes here — unusual nationally, since only these two states mandate it. Full detail in the disclosure-law guide.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 61.3% of Spray's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Spray's figures come from
Spray's 96th-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 Spray's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
