How exposed is Unity to wildfire?

Very High
94thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Unity at the 94th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 111 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Unity's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

111Total buildings
91.9%Direct exposure
8.1%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Of Unity's 111 counted buildings, 91.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Unity against the rest of the country

Unity scores 94th nationally and 82nd within Oregon — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Unity ranks 1,804 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,605 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 77 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Unity

Because Unity 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.

Hardening a home in Unity

Unity's 91.9% 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.

Where Unity's figures come from

Unity's 94th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Unity's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
