What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Farmville: 42.6% of its 2,462 buildings, versus 24.2% Indirect and 33.2% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Shopping for coverage in Farmville
Farmville's moderate wildfire rating (40th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 42.6% of Farmville 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.
