Genola, UT
How exposed is Genola to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Genola at the 94th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,000 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Genola at the 92nd percentile, close to its 94th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
1,000 buildings are counted in Genola, and 66.8% 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 Genola compares
Genola's 94th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 72nd ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 22 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Genola ranks 2,030 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,939 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 90 of 326 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Genola
Genola's very high rating (94th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Genola's 66.8% 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.
