Centreville, MI
Centreville, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Centreville at the 5th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 719 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Centreville at the 5th percentile, close to its 5th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 24.2% of Centreville's 719 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 75.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Centreville against the rest of the country
Centreville scores 5th nationally and 11th within Michigan — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Centreville ranks 29,983 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,467 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 660 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Centreville's low rating (5th 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
Centreville's 75.8% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Centreville's figures come from
Centreville's 5th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Centreville's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
