Separately from the risk score above, Eddyville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 56th percentile nationally.
Where Eddyville's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Eddyville: 57.8% of its 116 buildings, versus 42.2% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
