How Millboro compares

Within Virginia alone, it ranks 110 of 681 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Virginia on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Millboro
At the 71st percentile nationally, Millboro carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With 75.5% of Millboro 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.
More on how this number was built
Millboro's 71st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Millboro, see the exposure-zones guide.
