Old Brownsboro Place's building exposure, zone by zone
Old Brownsboro Place rates 70% Minimal exposure against just 30% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 160 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Old Brownsboro Place and the insurance market
Old Brownsboro Place's low rating (11th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 70% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Old Brownsboro Place gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
