As documented for Salt Lake City elsewhere in this project, the Wasatch Fault's real, disclosed 50-year probability of a magnitude 6.75-plus earthquake runs 18%-43% depending on source. Bountiful's location directly against the Wasatch benches places it in genuine proximity to the fault line itself, not merely the broader valley floor.

Utah homeowners insurance rates rose a cumulative 70.6% from 2019-2024 (the second-largest state increase nationally, behind Colorado), including a 20.5% jump in 2024 alone -- the same real, statewide trend documented for Salt Lake City, applying to Bountiful as well.
