Timber Lakes, UT
Timber Lakes, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Timber Lakes at the 94th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,063 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Timber Lakes at the 91st national percentile — 3 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Timber Lakes's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 100% of Timber Lakes's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 0% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 1,063 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Timber Lakes compares
Timber Lakes ranks lower within Utah (72nd percentile statewide) than its 94th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Timber Lakes ranks 2,032 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,505 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 92 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Timber Lakes
At the 94th percentile nationally, Timber Lakes 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 Timber Lakes (100%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
