Beaverville, IL
Beaverville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Beaverville lands at the 1st percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 263 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Beaverville at the 1st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Beaverville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Beaverville's buildings (91.6% of 263) 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.
Beaverville against the rest of the country
Beaverville scores 1st nationally and 7th 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, Beaverville ranks 31,285 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,720 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,333 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 1st national percentile, Beaverville rates low 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 91.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Beaverville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
