Comstock Park, MI
Comstock Park, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Comstock Park at the 13th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 3,069 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Comstock Park at the 15th percentile, close to its 13th-percentile risk score.
Where Comstock Park's buildings actually sit
82.9% of Comstock Park's 3,069 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 17.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Comstock Park ranks
Compare Comstock Park's two percentiles: 46th within Michigan, only 13th nationally — a gap of 33 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state.

Hardening a home in Comstock Park
With 82.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Comstock Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Comstock Park's figures come from
Comstock Park's 13th-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 Comstock Park's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
