Davison, MI
How exposed is Davison to wildfire?
Davison sits at the 8th 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 2,215 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Davison at the 9th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Davison's building exposure, zone by zone
87.8% of Davison's 2,215 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 12.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Davison ranks
Davison's risk sits at a similar level relative to Michigan (23rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (8th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Davison ranks 29,093 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,895 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 574 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Davison
At the 8th national percentile, Davison rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Davison
Davison's 87.8% 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.
More on how this number was built
Davison's 8th-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 Davison, see the exposure-zones guide.
