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

Moderate
26thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Tillamook at the 26th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 2,291 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Tillamook at the 29th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Tillamook's building exposure, zone by zone

2,291Total buildings
8%Direct exposure
11.8%Indirect exposure
80.2%Minimal exposure

USFS classifies 80.2% of Tillamook's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 8% Direct and 11.8% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.

Where Tillamook ranks

Tillamook's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (22nd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (26th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tillamook ranks 23,334 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,723 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 326 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Tillamook

Because Tillamook 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.

What would actually reduce this score

Tillamook's 80.2% 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

Tillamook's 26th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Tillamook, see the exposure-zones guide.
