Audubon Park, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
9thpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Audubon Park at the 9th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 901 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Audubon Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.

What "at risk" means for the buildings here

901Total buildings
34.3%Direct exposure
0%Indirect exposure
65.7%Minimal exposure

65.7% of Audubon Park's 901 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 34.3% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.

How Audubon Park compares

Audubon Park's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kentucky (4th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (9th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Audubon Park ranks 28,585 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,715 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 532 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

At the 9th national percentile, Audubon Park rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.

What would actually reduce this score

With 65.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Audubon Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
