Where Brush Creek's buildings actually sit
22 buildings are counted in Brush Creek, and 100% 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. This is a small settlement by building count — 22 total — so these shares describe a handful of structures, not a statistical average across thousands.

More on how this number was built
The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 22 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Brush Creek. At 22 buildings, Brush Creek is close to the size where USFS's data gets thin — the data-quality guide explains why 517 places nationally get no score at all.
