Hinckley, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Hinckley's 470 buildings earn a 64th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Hinckley's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 64th percentile nationally.
Hinckley's building exposure, zone by zone
470 buildings are counted in Hinckley, and 49.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 47.2% rated Minimal.
How Hinckley compares
Inside Utah, Hinckley sits at just the 22nd percentile even though it scores 64th 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, Hinckley ranks 11,265 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,883 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 256 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Hinckley and the insurance market
Hinckley's 64th-percentile, high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Hinckley
With 49.4% of Hinckley 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.
