Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Holland Patent at the 7th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Holland Patent's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Holland Patent's 245 counted buildings, 75.5% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Holland Patent compares

What this risk score means for insurance
Holland Patent's low rating (7th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
