Goodrich, MI
Goodrich, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Goodrich at the 16th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 906 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Goodrich at the 18th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Goodrich's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 51.9% of Goodrich's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 48.1% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 470 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
How Goodrich compares
Goodrich's 55th-percentile standing inside Michigan outpaces its 16th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Goodrich ranks 26,535 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,671 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 335 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
Goodrich's low rating (16th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
