What "at risk" means for the buildings here

Where Millersville ranks

Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 413 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Millersville
Millersville's moderate wildfire rating (30th 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
With 68.5% of Millersville 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
Millersville's 30th-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 Millersville, see the exposure-zones guide.
