Centerfield, UT
Centerfield wildfire risk explained
Centerfield sits at the 43rd 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 692 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Centerfield at the 43rd national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Centerfield's buildings actually sit
46.8% of Centerfield's 692 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 41% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Centerfield against the rest of the country
Centerfield's 43rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 6th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 37 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Centerfield ranks 17,915 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,752 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 307 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 43rd national percentile, Centerfield 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
Centerfield's 46.8% 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.
