Tualatin, OR
Tualatin wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Tualatin lands at the 22nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 8,227 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tualatin's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 24th percentile nationally.
Tualatin's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 1.6% of Tualatin's 8,227 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 98.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 8,227 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Tualatin ranks
There's little gap between Tualatin's 22nd national percentile and its 17th percentile inside Oregon, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tualatin ranks 24,622 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,034 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 348 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
Because Tualatin 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
Tualatin's 98.4% 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.
