Wood Village, OR
How exposed is Wood Village to wildfire?
USFS scores Wood Village at the 20th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,253 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Wood Village at the 21st percentile, close to its 20th-percentile risk score.
Wood Village's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 98.5% of Wood Village's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 1.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
