Crestview Hills, KY
Crestview Hills, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Crestview Hills at the 10th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 863 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Crestview Hills'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
USFS puts 44% of Crestview Hills's 863 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 26.8% Direct and 29.2% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Crestview Hills against the rest of the country
Crestview Hills's risk sits at a similar level relative to Kentucky (7th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (10th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crestview Hills ranks 28,364 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,047 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 514 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Crestview Hills
Crestview Hills's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Crestview Hills
