Taylorsville, UT
Taylorsville, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Taylorsville at the 43rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 18,545 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Taylorsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 43rd percentile nationally.
Where Taylorsville's buildings actually sit
Taylorsville rates 98.5% Minimal exposure against just 1.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 18,545 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 18,545 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Taylorsville compares
Inside Utah, Taylorsville sits at just the 6th percentile even though it scores 43rd 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, Taylorsville ranks 17,946 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 770 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 308 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Taylorsville
Taylorsville's elevated rating (43rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 98.5% of Taylorsville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
