Millington, MI
Millington, MI's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Millington sits at the 10th 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 630 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Millington's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Millington rates 66.7% Minimal exposure against just 31.9% Direct and 1.4% Indirect — of 630 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Millington ranks
Compare Millington's two percentiles: 35th within Michigan, only 10th nationally — a gap of 25 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Millington ranks 28,306 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 15,448 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 486 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
Millington and the insurance market
Millington's low rating (10th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Millington
With 66.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Millington gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
Where Millington's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Millington's 28,306-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Millington's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
