Orangeville, UT
How exposed is Orangeville to wildfire?
USFS scores Orangeville at the 26th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 711 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Orangeville at the 32nd national percentile — 6 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Orangeville's buildings actually sit
711 buildings are counted in Orangeville, and 79% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 21% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Orangeville against the rest of the country
Inside Utah, Orangeville sits at just the 1st percentile even though it scores 26th 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, Orangeville ranks 23,369 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,556 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 323 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Orangeville and the insurance market
At the 26th national percentile, Orangeville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 79% of Orangeville'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.
