Livonia, MI
Livonia, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Livonia at the 9th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 48,864 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Livonia's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
Livonia's building exposure, zone by zone
93.4% of Livonia's 48,864 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 6.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 48,864 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Livonia ranks
Livonia's 28th-percentile standing inside Michigan outpaces its 9th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Livonia ranks 28,718 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 181 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 540 of 745 places by risk.

Shopping for coverage in Livonia
At the 9th national percentile, Livonia rates low 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 Livonia
With 93.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Livonia gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Livonia's figures come from
Livonia's 9th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Livonia's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
