What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Lionville: 60.7% of its 1,534 buildings, versus 0% Indirect and 39.3% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

Shopping for coverage in Lionville
Lionville'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
With 60.7% of Lionville 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.
