Constantine, MI
Constantine wildfire risk explained
Constantine's 1,003 buildings earn a 3rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Constantine at the 3rd percentile, close to its 3rd-percentile risk score.
Constantine's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 87.6% of Constantine's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 12.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Constantine compares
Constantine's risk sits at a similar level relative to Michigan (5th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (3rd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Constantine ranks 30,518 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,911 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 705 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Constantine and the insurance market
Constantine's low wildfire rating (3rd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 87.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Constantine 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
Constantine's 3rd-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 Constantine, see the exposure-zones guide.
