Barry, IL
Barry, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Barry at the 29th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 957 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Barry at the 30th percentile, close to its 29th-percentile risk score.
Where Barry's buildings actually sit
Most of Barry's buildings (50.5% of 957) 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 Barry ranks
Within Illinois, Barry ranks higher (78th percentile) than it does nationally (29th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Barry ranks 22,461 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,255 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 322 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Barry
At the 29th national percentile, Barry rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 50.5% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Barry gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
