Takilma, OR
How exposed is Takilma to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Takilma lands at the 99th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 310 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Takilma at the 98th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Takilma's buildings actually sit
310 buildings are counted in Takilma, and 100% 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% rated Minimal.
Where Takilma ranks
There's little gap between Takilma's 99th national percentile and its 96th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Takilma ranks 388 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,374 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 19 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
Takilma sits in Oregon, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. Sellers here disclose wildfire-hazard status before closing, the same number this page reports at the 99th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Takilma's 100% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
