USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Bruceville-Eddy at the 73rd percentile, close to its 77th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 76.5% of Bruceville-Eddy's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 23.5% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 750 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

What would actually reduce this score
With 76.5% of Bruceville-Eddy 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.
Where Bruceville-Eddy's figures come from
Bruceville-Eddy's 77th-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 Bruceville-Eddy's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
