What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 90% of Llewellyn Park's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 10% Minimal share — a profile where 269 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Llewellyn Park against the rest of the country

What this risk score means for insurance
Llewellyn Park's moderate wildfire rating (29th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Llewellyn Park's 90% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
