Woodruff, UT
Woodruff, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Woodruff lands at the 78th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 186 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Woodruff's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 79th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
186 buildings are counted in Woodruff, and 99.5% 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.
Where Woodruff ranks
Woodruff's 78th national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 36th ranking inside Utah does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 42 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Woodruff ranks 7,044 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,403 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 209 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Woodruff and the insurance market
At the 78th percentile nationally, Woodruff carries the 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.
Hardening a home in Woodruff
Woodruff's 99.5% 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.
More on how this number was built
Woodruff's 78th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Woodruff, see the exposure-zones guide.
