Uintah, UT
Uintah, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Uintah at the 93rd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 717 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Uintah at the 88th percentile, close to its 93rd-percentile risk score.
Where Uintah's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 44.9% of Uintah's 717 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 31.5% Direct and 23.6% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Uintah against the rest of the country
Uintah's 93rd national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 67th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 26 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Uintah ranks 2,284 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,501 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 109 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 93rd percentile nationally, Uintah 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
Uintah's 44.9% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
