Tangent, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Tangent's 842 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tangent's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 10th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
78% of Tangent's 842 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 18.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Tangent compares
Tangent scores 8th nationally and 1st within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tangent ranks 29,043 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,234 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 415 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
Tangent's 8th-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
Tangent's 78% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Every one of the two percentiles behind Tangent's 29,043-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Tangent, see the exposure-zones guide.
