Atlantic Mine, MI
Atlantic Mine, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Atlantic Mine sits at the 42nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 355 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Atlantic Mine at the 42nd percentile, close to its 42nd-percentile risk score.
Where Atlantic Mine's buildings actually sit
Direct exposure dominates in Atlantic Mine: 52.1% of its 355 buildings, versus 47.9% Indirect and 0% Minimal. Clearing space around a structure changes the outcome here more than any single building-material swap.
Atlantic Mine against the rest of the country
Atlantic Mine's 92nd-percentile standing inside Michigan outpaces its 42nd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Atlantic Mine ranks 18,214 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,187 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 58 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Atlantic Mine and the insurance market
Atlantic Mine's elevated rating (42nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Atlantic Mine's 52.1% 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
Atlantic Mine's 42nd-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 Atlantic Mine, see the exposure-zones guide.
