Lehi, UT
Lehi, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lehi's 19,638 buildings earn a 90th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lehi's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 87th percentile nationally.
Lehi's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Lehi's buildings (45.5% of 19,638) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure. At 19,638 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Lehi compares
Lehi's 90th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 55th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 35 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lehi ranks 3,135 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 725 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 146 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lehi
Lehi's 90th-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 Lehi
Even with 45.5% of Lehi outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
