Lynndyl, UT
Lynndyl, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lynndyl's 114 buildings earn a 89th-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, Lynndyl's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 89th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
114 buildings are counted in Lynndyl, and 71.9% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 28.1% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Lynndyl compares
Lynndyl's 89th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 52nd ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 37 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lynndyl ranks 3,451 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,481 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 157 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Lynndyl and the insurance market
Lynndyl's very high rating (89th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Hardening a home in Lynndyl
Because 71.9% of Lynndyl's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
