Proctorsville, VT
Proctorsville, VT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Proctorsville sits at the 16th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 325 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Proctorsville at the 16th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Proctorsville's buildings actually sit
Of Proctorsville's 325 counted buildings, 62.8% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.

Shopping for coverage in Proctorsville
Proctorsville's low wildfire rating (16th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 62.8% of Proctorsville 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.
