Spring City, UT
Spring City, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Spring City at the 78th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (well above the national norm for wildfire risk), a figure built from 857 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Spring City's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 77th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
857 buildings are counted in Spring City, and 53.9% 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.
How Spring City compares
Spring City's 78th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 37th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 41 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Spring City ranks 6,917 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,113 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 206 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Spring City and the insurance market
Spring City's high rating (78th 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
Spring City's 53.9% 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.
Where Spring City's figures come from
Spring City's 78th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Spring City's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
