Cannonville, UT
How exposed is Cannonville to wildfire?
Cannonville sits at the 56th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 153 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Cannonville at the 52nd percentile, close to its 56th-percentile risk score.
Cannonville's building exposure, zone by zone
56.9% of Cannonville's 153 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 43.1% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Cannonville ranks
Cannonville ranks lower within Utah (13th percentile statewide) than its 56th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cannonville ranks 13,726 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,778 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 283 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 56th national percentile, Cannonville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Cannonville's 56.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
