Lincoln Park, MI
How exposed is Lincoln Park to wildfire?
Lincoln Park's 20,610 buildings earn a 6th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Lincoln Park at the 8th percentile, close to its 6th-percentile risk score.
Where Lincoln Park's buildings actually sit
Only 0.1% of Lincoln Park's 20,610 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 99.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 20,610 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Lincoln Park ranks
Lincoln Park scores 6th nationally and 16th 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, Lincoln Park ranks 29,597 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 684 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 625 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park's low wildfire rating (6th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 99.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Lincoln Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
