Which Michigan town has the lowest natural-hazard risk?
Gaylord (Otsego County) and Kinross Township (Chippewa County) share first place on hazard risk among 701 towns.
How are these towns ranked?
The Hazard risk grade: FEMA’s expected yearly loss to buildings from natural hazards, where residents live (National Risk Index). Towns are sorted on the grade’s score; the letter and rank are the same as on each town’s page. How grades work.
Why isn’t my town on this list?
The list covers towns of 2,500+ residents with a hazard risk grade (701 in Michigan). Smaller towns have the grade on their page but no rank. Every town is on the Michigan page.
