Rocky Ridge, UT
How exposed is Rocky Ridge to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Rocky Ridge at the 98th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 114 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Rocky Ridge's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 97th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
114 buildings are counted in Rocky Ridge, and 84.2% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.
Rocky Ridge against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Rocky Ridge's 98th national percentile and its 93rd percentile inside Utah, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Rocky Ridge ranks 739 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,482 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 25 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Rocky Ridge and the insurance market
At the 98th percentile nationally, Rocky Ridge carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 84.2% of Rocky Ridge in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
