How exposed is Stafford to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Stafford at the 31st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,411 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Stafford at the 31st percentile, close to its 31st-percentile risk score.
Stafford's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 85.3% of Stafford's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 14.3% Indirect share and far above its 0.5% Minimal share — a profile where 1,203 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Stafford compares
There's little gap between Stafford's 31st national percentile and its 29th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stafford ranks 21,665 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 9,583 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 299 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Stafford and the insurance market
Because Stafford 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.

More on how this number was built
Stafford's 31st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Stafford, see the exposure-zones guide.
