Trail, OR
Trail, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Trail lands at the 100th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 492 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Trail's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 100th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
93.3% of Trail's 492 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 459 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 6.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Trail against the rest of the country
Trail's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (100th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (100th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trail ranks 76 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,501 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 2 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Trail and the insurance market
Because Trail 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
Trail's 93.3% 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.
