Teasdale, UT
Teasdale, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Teasdale's 211 buildings earn a 78th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — well above the national norm for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Teasdale at the 70th percentile, close to its 78th-percentile risk score.
Where Teasdale's buildings actually sit
211 buildings are counted in Teasdale, and 58.8% 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.
Teasdale against the rest of the country
Teasdale ranks lower within Utah (35th percentile statewide) than its 78th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Teasdale ranks 7,105 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,458 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 213 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Teasdale and the insurance market
Teasdale's 78th-percentile, 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 Direct exposure dominates in Teasdale (58.8%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
