Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Allport at the 56th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Allport's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Allport: 100% of its 160 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 100% of Allport 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.
