What "at risk" means for the buildings here

8,063Total buildings
2.8%Direct exposure
97.3%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Most of Mililani Town's buildings (97.3%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone. At 8,063 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.

Where Mililani Town ranks

Inside Hawaii, Mililani Town sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 92nd nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it.

Within Hawaii alone, it ranks 76 of 163 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Hawaii on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Mililani Town

Mililani Town's very high rating (92nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

What would actually reduce this score

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Mililani Town (97.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.

Where Mililani Town's figures come from

Mililani Town's 92nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Mililani Town's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
