Antioch, IL
Antioch, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Antioch lands at the 38th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 5,427 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Antioch at the 39th percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
Where Antioch's buildings actually sit
Antioch rates 65.7% Minimal exposure against just 17.3% Direct and 17.1% Indirect — of 5,427 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 5,427 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Antioch against the rest of the country
Antioch's 91st-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 38th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Antioch ranks 19,405 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 3,187 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 133 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Antioch and the insurance market
At the 38th national percentile, Antioch rates moderate 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 Antioch
With 65.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Antioch gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
