Wamic, OR
Wamic, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Wamic at the 99th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 141 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Wamic at the 100th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
141 buildings are counted in Wamic, and 70.2% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Wamic against the rest of the country
Wamic scores 99th nationally and 96th 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, Wamic ranks 389 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,262 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 20 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
