Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Weedville at the 44th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Weedville's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Weedville: 77.5% of its 391 buildings, versus 22.5% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
