Warfield, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Very High
92ndpercentile nationally

Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 27 of 552 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Kentucky on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

Warfield's very high rating (92nd percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
