Honor, MI
Honor, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Honor sits at the 24th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 254 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Honor at the 24th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Honor's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 50.8% of Honor's buildings as Direct exposure, higher than its 49.2% Indirect share and far above its 0% Minimal share — a profile where 129 structures sit close enough to vegetation that lot clearing matters most.
Honor against the rest of the country
Within Michigan, Honor ranks higher (73rd percentile) than it does nationally (24th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Honor ranks 24,079 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,014 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 200 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Honor and the insurance market
At the 24th national percentile, Honor rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 50.8% of Honor in Direct exposure, defensible-space clearing and ember-resistant construction (vents, Class-A roofing) address the exposure this page's own numbers describe, not a generic checklist. See the home-hardening guide.
