Adair, IL
How exposed is Adair to wildfire?
Adair's 192 buildings earn a 1st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Adair's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
Where Adair's buildings actually sit
Only 3.1% of Adair's 192 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 96.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Adair compares
There's little gap between Adair's 1st national percentile and its 9th percentile inside Illinois, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Adair ranks 31,223 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,154 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,315 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Adair and the insurance market
At the 1st national percentile, Adair 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 Adair
Adair's 96.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
