Carsonville, MI
Carsonville, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Carsonville sits at the 6th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 344 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Carsonville at the 6th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Carsonville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 60.2% of Carsonville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 39.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Carsonville ranks
There's little gap between Carsonville's 6th national percentile and its 15th percentile inside Michigan, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Carsonville ranks 29,658 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,468 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 631 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Carsonville
Carsonville's low rating (6th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 60.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Carsonville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Carsonville's 6th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Carsonville, see the exposure-zones guide.
