What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Pine Ridge (Citrus)'s 6,155 counted buildings, 58.8% carry Direct exposure and only 19.8% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first. At 6,155 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
