Lewiston, UT
Lewiston, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lewiston's 1,641 buildings earn a 37th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lewiston at the 37th percentile, close to its 37th-percentile risk score.
Lewiston's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 51.7% of Lewiston's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 48% Direct and 0.3% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Lewiston compares
Inside Utah, Lewiston sits at just the 3rd percentile even though it scores 37th 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, Lewiston ranks 19,928 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,616 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 316 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Lewiston and the insurance market
At the 37th national percentile, Lewiston rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Lewiston's 51.7% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
