Broadlands, IL
Broadlands, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Broadlands at the 0th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 285 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 Broadlands at the 0th percentile, close to its 0th-percentile risk score.
Where Broadlands's buildings actually sit
Broadlands rates 80.4% Minimal exposure against just 19.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 285 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Broadlands ranks
Broadlands scores 0th nationally and 1st 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, Broadlands ranks 31,481 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,030 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,424 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Broadlands
Broadlands's low wildfire rating (0th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Broadlands
With 80.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Broadlands gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
