Edgemont Park, MI
Edgemont Park, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Edgemont Park sits at the 11th 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 1,171 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Edgemont Park at the 13th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Edgemont Park's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 97.2% of Edgemont Park's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 2.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Edgemont Park ranks
Within Michigan, Edgemont Park ranks higher (36th percentile) than it does nationally (11th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edgemont Park ranks 28,207 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,820 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 475 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
Edgemont Park's low rating (11th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Even with 97.2% of Edgemont Park outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
