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

High
71stpercentile nationally

Sunriver sits at the 71st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 4,246 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Sunriver at the 73rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

4,246 buildings are counted in Sunriver, and 83.6% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0.2% rated Minimal.

Where Sunriver ranks

What would actually reduce this score

Because Direct exposure dominates in Sunriver (83.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
