Mignon, AL
Mignon, AL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Mignon lands at the 75th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 760 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Mignon at the 79th national percentile — 4 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Mignon's building exposure, zone by zone
57.5% of Mignon's 760 buildings sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone, roughly 437 structures close enough to burnable vegetation for flame contact, not just embers — 42.5% fall in the Indirect, ember-only zone and 0% are Minimal.
Where Mignon ranks
Inside Alabama, Mignon sits at just the 60th percentile even though it scores 75th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Mignon ranks 7,771 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,011 by building count (1 is largest). Within Alabama alone, it ranks 238 of 592 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Alabama on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Mignon
Mignon's high rating (75th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
With 57.5% of Mignon 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.
