How exposed is North Attleborough Town to wildfire?

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts North Attleborough Town at the 14th percentile, close to its 16th-percentile risk score.
Where North Attleborough Town's buildings actually sit
Most of North Attleborough Town's buildings (36.6% of 10,187) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 10,187 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
