Where Wallsburg ranks
Wallsburg scores 97th nationally and 91st within Utah — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Wallsburg ranks 866 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,500 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 32 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Wallsburg and the insurance market
At the 97th percentile nationally, Wallsburg 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
With 82.9% of Wallsburg in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
