Here's one way to visualize what it means to be in the top 3% nationally for wildfire risk.
Each dot represents a U.S. county. Washington County, home to St. George, is one of the red dots in the top right corner.

Wondering how at-risk Utah is for devastating fires like those in LA? And which parts of Utah are most risky?
One assessment has Salt Lake County in the top 4% nationally for the risk wildfires pose to homes. Other UT counties fare even worse.
