Millersburg, MI
Millersburg, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Millersburg sits at the 18th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 208 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Millersburg at the 18th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
54.3% of Millersburg's 208 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 45.7% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
Where Millersburg ranks
Within Michigan, Millersburg ranks higher (61st percentile) than it does nationally (18th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Millersburg ranks 25,876 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,556 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 293 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Millersburg and the insurance market
At the 18th national percentile, Millersburg rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Because 54.3% of Millersburg's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Millersburg's 18th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Millersburg, see the exposure-zones guide.
