Mayfield, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

High
79thpercentile nationally

Out of every US place USFS scores, Mayfield lands at the 79th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 396 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Separately from the risk score above, Mayfield's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 78th percentile nationally.

Mayfield's building exposure, zone by zone

396Total buildings
47.7%Direct exposure
52.3%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

52.3% of Mayfield's 396 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 47.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.

Mayfield against the rest of the country

Mayfield's 79th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 39th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mayfield ranks 6,509 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,312 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 200 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

Mayfield's high rating (79th 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 Mayfield

With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Mayfield (52.3% 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

Mayfield's 79th-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 Mayfield, see the exposure-zones guide.
