Leamington, UT
Leamington wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Leamington lands at the 89th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a figure built from its 170 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Leamington at the 89th percentile, close to its 89th-percentile risk score.
Leamington's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 59.4% of Leamington's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 40.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 101 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Leamington against the rest of the country
Inside Utah, Leamington sits at just the 53rd percentile even though it scores 89th 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, Leamington ranks 3,387 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,050 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 153 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
At the 89th percentile nationally, Leamington 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Leamington (59.4%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
