Eagle, MI
How exposed is Eagle to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Eagle at the 9th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 107 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Eagle at the 9th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 19.6% of Eagle's 107 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 80.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Eagle ranks
Within Michigan, Eagle ranks higher (30th percentile) than it does nationally (9th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eagle ranks 28,617 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,735 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 524 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 9th national percentile, Eagle rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Eagle's 80.4% 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.
