Williams, OR's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Williams at the 100th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,133 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Williams at the 100th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Williams's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Williams: 99.7% of its 1,133 buildings, versus 0.4% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Williams against the rest of the country
Williams's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oregon (100th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (100th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Williams ranks 77 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,063 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oregon alone, it ranks 3 of 420 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oregon on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Williams

What would actually reduce this score
With 99.7% of Williams in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
