Shopping for coverage in Tiltonsville

What would actually reduce this score
Tiltonsville's 97.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
