Hebron, KY
How exposed is Hebron to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hebron lands at the 14th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 2,445 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hebron's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 16th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Hebron's buildings (53.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Hebron ranks
Hebron scores 14th nationally and 23rd within Kentucky — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hebron ranks 26,974 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,407 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 424 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hebron
At the 14th national percentile, Hebron rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 53.6% of Hebron's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Hebron's 14th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Hebron, see the exposure-zones guide.
