What this risk score means for insurance

Toquerville's very high rating (96th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.

What would actually reduce this score

Because Direct exposure dominates in Toquerville (75.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
