Honeyville, UT
Honeyville, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Honeyville at the 90th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 1,016 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Honeyville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 85th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
51.1% of Honeyville's 1,016 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 519 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 40.7% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 8.3% are Minimal.
Honeyville against the rest of the country
Honeyville ranks lower within Utah (54th percentile statewide) than its 90th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Honeyville ranks 3,294 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,832 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 151 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Honeyville and the insurance market
At the 90th percentile nationally, Honeyville 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Honeyville's 51.1% 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.
Where Honeyville's figures come from
Honeyville's 90th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Honeyville's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
