Daggett, MI
Daggett, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Daggett's 210 buildings earn a 19th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Daggett at the 19th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Daggett's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 52.4% of Daggett's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 47.6% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 110 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.

Shopping for coverage in Daggett
Daggett's low wildfire rating (19th 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.
