Moroni, UT
Moroni, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Moroni at the 76th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 793 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Moroni at the 78th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Moroni's buildings actually sit
71% of Moroni's 793 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 29% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Moroni ranks
Moroni ranks lower within Utah (33rd percentile statewide) than its 76th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Moroni ranks 7,516 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,707 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 218 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
Moroni's high rating (76th 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 Moroni
Moroni's 71% 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.
