Dundee, MI
Dundee, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Dundee sits at the 6th 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 2,212 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Dundee's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 6th percentile nationally.
Dundee's building exposure, zone by zone
Dundee rates 90.6% Minimal exposure against just 9.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 2,212 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Dundee against the rest of the country
There's little gap between Dundee's 6th national percentile and its 16th percentile inside Michigan, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dundee ranks 29,566 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,905 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 623 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Dundee
Dundee's low wildfire rating (6th 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
Dundee's 90.6% 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
Dundee's 6th-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 Dundee, see the exposure-zones guide.
