How exposed is Las Palmas II to wildfire?

What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Las Palmas II rates 90.6% Minimal exposure against just 9.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 339 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Las Palmas II and the insurance market
Las Palmas II's elevated wildfire rating (58th 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.
