What "at risk" means for the buildings here

What would actually reduce this score
With 47.8% of Myers Corner 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.
