Parkway Village, KY
Parkway Village wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Parkway Village at the 11th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 406 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Parkway Village at the 13th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Where Parkway Village's buildings actually sit
Only 4.4% of Parkway Village's 406 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 95.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Parkway Village against the rest of the country
Parkway Village scores 11th nationally and 11th 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, Parkway Village ranks 28,169 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,095 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 492 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Parkway Village and the insurance market
At the 11th national percentile, Parkway Village rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 95.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Parkway Village gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
