Dixon, KY
Dixon, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Dixon at the 38th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 556 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dixon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 40th percentile nationally.
Dixon's building exposure, zone by zone
556 buildings are counted in Dixon, and 83.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Dixon compares
Dixon's 66th-percentile standing inside Kentucky outpaces its 38th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dixon ranks 19,628 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,475 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 190 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
Dixon's moderate rating (38th 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 Dixon
Dixon's 83.1% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Dixon's 38th-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 Dixon, see the exposure-zones guide.
