Springdale, UT
Springdale, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Springdale at the 90th national percentile for risk to structures, in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — a score built from 619 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Springdale's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 85th percentile nationally.
Springdale's building exposure, zone by zone
619 buildings are counted in Springdale, and 69.5% 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.
Springdale against the rest of the country
Inside Utah, Springdale sits at just the 55th percentile even though it scores 90th 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, Springdale ranks 3,165 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,582 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 149 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 90th percentile nationally, Springdale 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
Because Direct exposure dominates in Springdale (69.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
Where Springdale's figures come from
Springdale's 90th-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 Springdale's dominant direct exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
