Cornish, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Cornish at the 76th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 266 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Cornish at the 72nd national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Cornish's buildings actually sit
Most of Cornish's buildings (50.7% of 266) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Cornish ranks
Cornish ranks lower within Utah (32nd percentile statewide) than its 76th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Cornish ranks 7,738 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,652 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 221 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
Cornish's high rating (76th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 50.7% of Cornish outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
