Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 16 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
Fleming-Neon's very high rating (93rd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
