Clawson, UT
Clawson wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Clawson lands at the 30th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 161 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Clawson's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 38th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
161 buildings are counted in Clawson, and 65.8% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
How Clawson compares
Inside Utah, Clawson sits at just the 2nd percentile even though it scores 30th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Clawson ranks 22,109 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,410 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 321 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Clawson and the insurance market
Clawson's moderate rating (30th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Clawson's 65.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
