Lincolnshire, KY
Lincolnshire, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lincolnshire sits at the 10th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 82 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lincolnshire at the 13th national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Lincolnshire's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 51.2% of Lincolnshire's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 48.8% Minimal share — a profile where 42 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Lincolnshire compares
Lincolnshire scores 10th nationally and 8th 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, Lincolnshire ranks 28,301 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 29,799 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 506 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 51.2% of Lincolnshire in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Lincolnshire's 10th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Lincolnshire, see the exposure-zones guide.
