Raywick, KY
Raywick, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Raywick sits at the 31st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 148 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Raywick at the 33rd national percentile — 3 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Raywick's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 75.7% of Raywick's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 24.3% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 112 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Raywick ranks

Raywick and the insurance market
Raywick's moderate rating (31st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 75.7% of Raywick 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.
