Homes in the wildland-urban interface
About 50% of Utah’s homes sit inside the wildland-urban interface — roughly 573,000 of 1.2 million statewide, according to the SILVIS Lab’s 2020 dataset. The share varies sharply by county: from about 27% in Salt Lake City’s Salt Lake County to about 96% in Washington County.
The five Utah counties with the most homes in the wildland-urban interface:
- Salt Lake County
- Utah County
- Washington County
- Davis County
- Weber County
Being in the interface is a description of geography, not a forecast of fire — it captures how close a building sits to vegetation that can burn. These classifications change slowly; the figures here come from the SILVIS Lab’s most recent revision of the 1990–2020 dataset, released February 2025.
