Quincy, MI
How exposed is Quincy to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Quincy lands at the 5th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 918 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Quincy at the 6th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Quincy's buildings actually sit
Only 20.6% of Quincy's 918 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 79.4% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Quincy ranks
There's little gap between Quincy's 5th national percentile and its 13th percentile inside Michigan, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Quincy ranks 29,817 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,571 by building count (1 is largest). Within Michigan alone, it ranks 646 of 745 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Michigan on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 5th national percentile, Quincy rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 79.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Quincy gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Quincy's 5th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Quincy, see the exposure-zones guide.
