Le Roy, MI
How exposed is Le Roy to wildfire?
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Le Roy at the 23rd national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 231 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Le Roy at the 22nd national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Le Roy's 231 counted buildings, 50.6% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Le Roy against the rest of the country
Within Michigan, Le Roy ranks higher (72nd percentile) than it does nationally (23rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Le Roy and the insurance market
At the 23rd national percentile, Le Roy rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Le Roy
With 50.6% of Le Roy 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.
