USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Tylersville at the 63rd percentile, close to its 65th-percentile risk score.
Tylersville's building exposure, zone by zone
Of Tylersville's 216 counted buildings, 90.3% 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.

What would actually reduce this score
With 90.3% of Tylersville 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.
