Separately from the risk score above, Randleman's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 37th percentile nationally.
Where Randleman's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Randleman: 65.2% of its 2,241 buildings, versus 34.8% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.

What would actually reduce this score
Randleman's 65.2% 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.
