Rabbit Hash, KY
How exposed is Rabbit Hash to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Rabbit Hash lands at the 22nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 285 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Rabbit Hash at the 24th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Direct exposure dominates in Rabbit Hash: 84.6% of its 285 buildings, versus 13.7% Indirect and 1.8% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
How Rabbit Hash compares

Shopping for coverage in Rabbit Hash
Rabbit Hash's moderate wildfire rating (22nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Rabbit Hash (84.6%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
