Housing Issues, Defense and Points

[Tank]

I have a barracks that covers 100% of my village's buildings. Sometimes the game yells at me that my buildings are only at 50% protected?

What are Housing Points? I have my Coal Maker at -25 and it says 'accumulated moisture', it's a freaking huge bonfire, if anything it should be too dry! I built a campfire next to it, that did nothing. Will someone please explain in detail this points system? I searched here for 'housing points' and got nothing. Does the environment influence points, do nearby buildings influence points? Rocks? Windspeed of unladen swallows?

Barracks has to have someone working there.

Housing points are a representation of the quality of housing. It only really matters for this. Building industry near housing will lower housing points, making residents more unhappy. Decorations and food production buildings counteract that.

I do have someone manning the barracks. And I see now, thanks! The points are fixed, I can't change building points. So I'm seeing that the more expanded a workshop is, the more negative it's value becomes, aka the more it negatively will affect housing structures. I was thinking we could change a structure's housing points, but only housing's points value can be changed through proximity of other structures. Thanks again!

Have you also created a patrol in the barracks tasks and assigned the villager to it?

All the buildings (except the mine) are within the barrack's active radius shown on the map. I did just add a patrol path around the entire village, I'll see how that affects things, thanks for the suggestion.
