Millville, UT
Millville, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Millville sits at the 91st percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 955 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Millville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 87th percentile nationally.
Millville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Millville's buildings (54.9%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Millville against the rest of the country
Inside Utah, Millville sits at just the 63rd percentile even though it scores 91st 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, Millville ranks 2,727 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,272 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 124 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Millville
Millville's 91st-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
Millville's 54.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
