Plano, KY
Plano, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Plano at the 19th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 567 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 Plano at the 21st percentile, close to its 19th-percentile risk score.
Where Plano's buildings actually sit
Of Plano's 567 counted buildings, 88.9% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Plano compares
Plano scores 19th nationally and 32nd 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, Plano ranks 25,522 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,295 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 376 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Plano and the insurance market
At the 19th national percentile, Plano rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Plano
Plano's 88.9% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
