How exposed is Tutuilla to wildfire?

Very High
88thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Tutuilla lands at the 88th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 364 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Tutuilla at the 90th percentile, close to its 88th-percentile risk score.

Within Oregon alone, it ranks 129 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Tutuilla and the insurance market

Tutuilla sits in Oregon, one of two states that legally require a wildfire-risk disclosure at sale. Sellers here disclose wildfire-hazard status before closing, the same number this page reports at the 88th national percentile. More on the disclosure law.

Hardening a home in Tutuilla

Because Direct exposure dominates in Tutuilla (54.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
