Kanarraville's building exposure, zone by zone

Where Kanarraville ranks
Kanarraville's risk sits at a similar level relative to Utah (90th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (97th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Kanarraville ranks 897 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,487 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 34 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Kanarraville's 97th-percentile, very 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 Kanarraville
Kanarraville's 51.3% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
