Lakewood Park, TN
Lakewood Park, TN's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lakewood Park sits at the 37th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 695 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lakewood Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 39th percentile nationally.
Lakewood Park's building exposure, zone by zone
695 buildings are counted in Lakewood Park, and 83.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 2.3% rated Minimal.

Lakewood Park and the insurance market

Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Lakewood Park (83.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
