Plymouth, UT
Plymouth, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Plymouth 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 271 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Plymouth at the 92nd percentile, close to its 91st-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 61.6% of Plymouth's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 27.3% Indirect share and far above its 11.1% Minimal share — a profile where 167 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Where Plymouth ranks
Inside Utah, Plymouth sits at just the 61st 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, Plymouth ranks 2,882 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,488 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 130 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Plymouth
Plymouth's very high rating (91st 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.
What would actually reduce this score
Plymouth's 61.6% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Plymouth's 91st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Plymouth, see the exposure-zones guide.
