Carbonville, UT
Carbonville, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Carbonville lands at the 52nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 984 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Carbonville at the 52nd percentile, close to its 52nd-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Carbonville's buildings (78.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Carbonville against the rest of the country
Carbonville ranks lower within Utah (11th percentile statewide) than its 52nd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Carbonville ranks 15,049 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,049 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 291 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Carbonville
At the 52nd national percentile, Carbonville rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Carbonville
Because 78.7% of Carbonville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
