Stockton, UT
How exposed is Stockton to wildfire?
Stockton's 383 buildings earn a 100th-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 Stockton at the 100th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 53.8% of Stockton's 383 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 46.2% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Stockton ranks
Stockton scores 100th nationally and 99th within Utah — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Stockton ranks 47 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,579 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 4 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Stockton and the insurance market
Stockton's 100th-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.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 53.8% of Stockton'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
Stockton's 100th-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 Stockton, see the exposure-zones guide.
