Spring Glen, UT
Spring Glen, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Spring Glen lands at the 58th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 863 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Spring Glen's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 55th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Spring Glen (69.2% of 863 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 30.8% sit in the Direct zone.
Spring Glen against the rest of the country
Spring Glen's 58th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 15th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 43 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Spring Glen ranks 13,315 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,052 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 277 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Spring Glen and the insurance market
Spring Glen's elevated rating (58th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 69.2% of Spring Glen'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.
More on how this number was built
Spring Glen's 58th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Spring Glen, see the exposure-zones guide.
