What "at risk" means for the buildings here
72 buildings are counted in Kysorville, and 90.3% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 2.8% rated Minimal.

Shopping for coverage in Kysorville
Kysorville's low wildfire rating (11th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Kysorville (90.3%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
