Woodburn, KY
Woodburn, KY's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Woodburn at the 16th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 234 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Woodburn at the 17th national percentile — 1 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
Of Woodburn's 234 counted buildings, 76.9% carry Direct exposure and only 23.1% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Woodburn compares
There's little gap between Woodburn's 16th national percentile and its 25th percentile inside Kentucky, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodburn ranks 26,564 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,665 by building count (1 is largest). Within Kentucky alone, it ranks 414 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
Woodburn's low wildfire rating (16th 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.
