Oasis, UT
How exposed is Oasis to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Oasis at the 49th national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 56 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Oasis at the 48th percentile, close to its 49th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Most of Oasis's buildings (76.8% of 56) 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.
Where Oasis ranks
Oasis ranks lower within Utah (9th percentile statewide) than its 49th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Oasis ranks 16,055 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,777 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 297 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Oasis and the insurance market
Oasis's elevated wildfire rating (49th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Oasis
Even with 76.8% of Oasis outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
