Baileyville, IL
Baileyville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Baileyville at the 2nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 179 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Baileyville at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Where Baileyville's buildings actually sit
Most of Baileyville's buildings (76% of 179) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Where Baileyville ranks
Baileyville scores 2nd nationally and 15th 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, Baileyville ranks 30,845 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,662 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,222 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Baileyville
At the 2nd national percentile, Baileyville 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 Baileyville
Even with 76% of Baileyville 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.
More on how this number was built
Baileyville's 2nd-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 Baileyville, see the exposure-zones guide.
