Logan, UT
How exposed is Logan to wildfire?
USFS scores Logan at the 88th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 13,694 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Logan at the 84th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Logan's buildings (48.2% of 13,694) 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 13,694 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Logan compares
Logan ranks lower within Utah (50th percentile statewide) than its 88th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Logan ranks 3,825 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,106 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 163 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Logan and the insurance market
Logan's 88th-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Logan's 48.2% 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.
More on how this number was built
Logan'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 minimal exposure implies beyond Logan, see the exposure-zones guide.
