Irvington, KY
How exposed is Irvington to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Irvington lands at the 19th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 752 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Irvington at the 21st national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Irvington's buildings actually sit
Of Irvington's 752 counted buildings, 60.8% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
