Allerton, IL
Allerton, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Allerton's 220 buildings earn a 0th-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, Allerton's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 0th percentile nationally.
Where Allerton's buildings actually sit
86.8% of Allerton's 220 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 13.2% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Where Allerton ranks
Allerton scores 0th nationally and 0th within Illinois — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Allerton ranks 31,506 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,115 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,432 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Allerton
Allerton's low rating (0th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 86.8% of Allerton outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
