Tumalo, OR
Tumalo, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Tumalo sits at the 89th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 481 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Tumalo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 90th percentile nationally.
Where Tumalo's buildings actually sit
481 buildings are counted in Tumalo, and 65.7% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 15.2% rated Minimal.
Where Tumalo ranks
Inside Oregon, Tumalo sits at just the 73rd percentile even though it scores 89th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Tumalo (65.7%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
