Allensville, KY
Allensville, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Allensville's 170 buildings earn a 6th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Allensville at the 7th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
Where Allensville's buildings actually sit
Indirect exposure is dominant in Allensville (62.4% of 170 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 35.9% sit in the Direct zone.
Allensville against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Allensville's 6th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Kentucky, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Allensville ranks 29,596 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,027 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 542 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Allensville
At the 6th national percentile, Allensville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 62.4% of Allensville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Allensville's 6th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Allensville, see the exposure-zones guide.
