Huntington, UT
Huntington wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Huntington at the 30th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 1,203 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Huntington at the 35th percentile, close to its 30th-percentile risk score.
Where Huntington's buildings actually sit
1,203 buildings are counted in Huntington, and 51.5% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 13.5% in Direct exposure or the 35% rated Minimal.
Huntington against the rest of the country
Huntington ranks lower within Utah (1st percentile statewide) than its 30th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Huntington ranks 22,139 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,634 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 322 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Huntington
Huntington's moderate wildfire rating (30th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Huntington (51.5% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
