Hurricane, UT
Hurricane, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Hurricane at the 93rd national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 7,517 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 Hurricane at the 93rd percentile, close to its 93rd-percentile risk score.
Where Hurricane's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 62.6% of Hurricane's 7,517 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 37.4% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to. At 7,517 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Hurricane compares
Hurricane ranks lower within Utah (67th percentile statewide) than its 93rd national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hurricane ranks 2,282 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 2,276 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 107 of 326 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Hurricane
Hurricane's very high rating (93rd 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
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Hurricane (62.6% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Hurricane's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Hurricane's 2,282-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Hurricane's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
