What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Mulberry Grove rates 65.6% Minimal exposure against just 34.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 465 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Shopping for coverage in Mulberry Grove
Mulberry Grove's moderate wildfire rating (24th 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.
Hardening a home in Mulberry Grove
Mulberry Grove's 65.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Mulberry Grove's 24th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Mulberry Grove, see the exposure-zones guide.
