Veyo, UT
How exposed is Veyo to wildfire?
Veyo sits at the 96th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 377 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Veyo's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
377 buildings are counted in Veyo, and 95.8% 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.
Veyo against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Veyo's 96th national percentile and its 87th percentile inside Utah, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Veyo ranks 1,147 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,734 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 47 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
Veyo's very high rating (96th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Veyo's 95.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
