What this risk score means for insurance
At the 14th national percentile, Lake Goodwin rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lake Goodwin (61%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
