Francis, UT
Francis, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Francis's 841 buildings earn a 94th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Francis at the 92nd national percentile — 2 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Francis's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 95.6% of Francis's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 4.4% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 804 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Francis against the rest of the country
Francis ranks lower within Utah (75th percentile statewide) than its 94th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Francis ranks 1,903 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,245 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 83 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Francis
At the 94th percentile nationally, Francis 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.
Hardening a home in Francis
With 95.6% of Francis 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.
