Lake LeAnn, MI
Lake LeAnn, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Lake LeAnn's 1,044 buildings earn a 15th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Lake LeAnn at the 16th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Lake LeAnn's buildings actually sit
Most of Lake LeAnn's buildings (47.3%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Lake LeAnn against the rest of the country
Compare Lake LeAnn's two percentiles: 52nd within Michigan, only 15th nationally — a gap of 37 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lake LeAnn ranks 26,753 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,632 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 356 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
Lake LeAnn's low rating (15th 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 Lake LeAnn
Because 47.3% of Lake LeAnn's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
