Eden, UT
How exposed is Eden to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Eden lands at the 91st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 509 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 Eden at the 88th percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
81.5% of Eden's 509 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 415 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 18.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Eden against the rest of the country
Inside Utah, Eden sits at just the 60th percentile even though it scores 91st 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, Eden ranks 2,911 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,202 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 131 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Eden and the insurance market
At the 91st percentile nationally, Eden carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 81.5% of Eden in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
