Lennon, MI
How exposed is Lennon to wildfire?
USFS scores Lennon at the 5th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 323 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Lennon's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Only 23.5% of Lennon's 323 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 76.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Lennon against the rest of the country
Lennon scores 5th nationally and 10th within Michigan — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Lennon ranks 30,076 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,007 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 669 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lennon
Lennon's low rating (5th 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 Lennon
Lennon's 76.5% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
