Roosevelt, UT
How exposed is Roosevelt to wildfire?
USFS scores Roosevelt at the 51st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 2,852 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Roosevelt at the 51st national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Roosevelt's buildings actually sit
Most of Roosevelt's buildings (44.7% of 2,852) 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.
How Roosevelt compares
Roosevelt ranks lower within Utah (10th percentile statewide) than its 51st national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Roosevelt ranks 15,397 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 5,660 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 293 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Roosevelt and the insurance market
At the 51st national percentile, Roosevelt rates elevated 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
Even with 44.7% of Roosevelt 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.
