Lakeside Park, KY
How exposed is Lakeside Park to wildfire?
Lakeside Park's 1,028 buildings earn a 9th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lakeside Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 10th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Lakeside Park's buildings (55.9% of 1,028) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Lakeside Park against the rest of the country
Lakeside Park scores 9th nationally and 4th 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, Lakeside Park ranks 28,554 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,738 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 530 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lakeside Park
At the 9th national percentile, Lakeside Park rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Lakeside Park
Even with 55.9% of Lakeside Park outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
