Eastwood, MI
Eastwood, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Eastwood's 2,617 buildings earn a 9th-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 Eastwood at the 10th percentile, close to its 9th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Eastwood rates 87% Minimal exposure against just 12.5% Direct and 0.5% Indirect — of 2,617 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Eastwood ranks
Within Michigan, Eastwood ranks higher (29th 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, Eastwood ranks 28,651 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,070 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 529 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Eastwood and the insurance market
Eastwood's low rating (9th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Eastwood
With 87% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Eastwood gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
