Bartonville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Moderate
21stpercentile nationally

Bartonville's 3,916 buildings earn a 21st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Bartonville at the 22nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Bartonville against the rest of the country

Bartonville's 63rd-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 21st national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally.

Within Illinois alone, it ranks 530 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Bartonville

At the 21st national percentile, Bartonville 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 Bartonville

Even with 87.7% of Bartonville 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.
