Lynnview, KY
Lynnview wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Lynnview at the 6th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 617 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lynnview at the 8th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
Lynnview's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 94.3% of Lynnview's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 5.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Lynnview ranks
There's little gap between Lynnview's 6th national percentile and its 2nd percentile inside Kentucky, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lynnview ranks 29,721 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,605 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 544 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Lynnview and the insurance market
Lynnview's low rating (6th 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 94.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lynnview gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Lynnview's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Lynnview's 29,721-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Lynnview's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
