Woodland Hills, UT
Woodland Hills wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Woodland Hills at the 96th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 552 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 Woodland Hills at the 94th percentile, close to its 96th-percentile risk score.
Where Woodland Hills's buildings actually sit
Of Woodland Hills's 552 counted buildings, 100% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Woodland Hills compares
There's little gap between Woodland Hills's 96th national percentile and its 85th percentile inside Utah, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodland Hills ranks 1,307 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,550 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 50 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Woodland Hills
Woodland Hills'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.
Hardening a home in Woodland Hills
