Levan, UT
Levan wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Levan at the 88th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 660 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 Levan at the 86th percentile, close to its 88th-percentile risk score.
Levan's building exposure, zone by zone
77.7% of Levan's 660 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 22.3% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Levan ranks
Levan's 88th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 50th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 38 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Levan ranks 3,922 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,070 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 164 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 88th percentile nationally, Levan 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Levan (77.7% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Levan's 88th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Levan, see the exposure-zones guide.
