Lynnville, TN
Lynnville wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Lynnville at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 268 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lynnville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 40th percentile nationally.
Lynnville's building exposure, zone by zone
Direct exposure dominates in Lynnville: 66.4% of its 268 buildings, versus 33.6% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Lynnville compares
There's little gap between Lynnville's 38th national percentile and its 27th percentile inside Tennessee, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lynnville ranks 19,684 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,589 by building count (1 is largest). Within Tennessee alone, it ranks 367 of 502 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Tennessee on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Lynnville's moderate rating (38th 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 66.4% of Lynnville 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.
Where Lynnville's figures come from
