Bryant, IL
Bryant wildfire risk explained
Bryant's 180 buildings earn a 26th-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.)
Separately from the risk score above, Bryant's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 27th percentile nationally.
Bryant's building exposure, zone by zone
Indirect exposure is dominant in Bryant (79.4% of 180 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 20.6% sit in the Direct zone.

Shopping for coverage in Bryant
At the 26th national percentile, Bryant 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 Bryant
Because 79.4% of Bryant's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
Where Bryant's figures come from
Bryant's 26th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Bryant's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
