Trenton, KY
Trenton, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Trenton's 338 buildings earn a 3rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Trenton at the 3rd percentile, close to its 3rd-percentile risk score.
Where Trenton's buildings actually sit
Only 46.5% of Trenton's 338 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 53.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Trenton ranks
There's little gap between Trenton's 3rd national percentile and its 0th percentile inside Kentucky, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trenton ranks 30,640 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,629 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 551 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.
Trenton and the insurance market
Trenton's low rating (3rd 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
Trenton's 53.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Trenton's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Trenton's 30,640-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Trenton's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
