Corinth, KY
Corinth, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Corinth at the 23rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 117 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Corinth at the 25th percentile, close to its 23rd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 94% of Corinth's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 110 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Corinth against the rest of the country
Within Kentucky, Corinth ranks higher (43rd percentile) than it does nationally (23rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Corinth ranks 24,139 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,305 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 314 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Corinth and the insurance market
Corinth's moderate rating (23rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Corinth (94%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Corinth's 23rd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Corinth, see the exposure-zones guide.
