Jonesville, MI
How exposed is Jonesville to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Jonesville at the 11th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 1,224 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Jonesville at the 12th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Jonesville's building exposure, zone by zone
72.1% of Jonesville's 1,224 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 27.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Jonesville ranks
Within Michigan, Jonesville ranks higher (38th 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, Jonesville ranks 28,053 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,506 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 463 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Jonesville
Jonesville'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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 72.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Jonesville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
