Spring Lake, UT
Spring Lake, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Spring Lake's 326 buildings earn a 94th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Spring Lake at the 90th national percentile — 4 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Spring Lake's buildings actually sit
326 buildings are counted in Spring Lake, and 80.4% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 2.2% rated Minimal.
How Spring Lake compares
Inside Utah, Spring Lake sits at just the 71st percentile even though it scores 94th 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, Spring Lake ranks 2,062 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,938 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 94 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Spring Lake and the insurance market
Spring Lake's 94th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
Hardening a home in Spring Lake
With 80.4% of Spring Lake 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.
