Separately from the risk score above, Perrytown's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 66th percentile nationally.
Perrytown's building exposure, zone by zone

What this risk score means for insurance
Perrytown's high rating (64th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Perrytown's 79% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
