Where Rouzerville's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Rouzerville (70.2% of 543 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 29.5% sit in the Direct zone.

Shopping for coverage in Rouzerville

What would actually reduce this score
Because 70.2% of Rouzerville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
