Millburg, MI
Millburg, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Millburg at the 10th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 371 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Millburg at the 10th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Millburg's buildings actually sit
Of Millburg's 371 counted buildings, 82.5% carry Direct exposure and only 17.5% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
Millburg against the rest of the country
Compare Millburg's two percentiles: 33rd within Michigan, only 10th nationally — a gap of 23 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Millburg ranks 28,436 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,839 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 499 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Millburg and the insurance market
At the 10th national percentile, Millburg 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 Millburg
Because Direct exposure dominates in Millburg (82.5%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
