Camargo, IL
How exposed is Camargo to wildfire?
Camargo's 356 buildings earn a 3rd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Camargo at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Camargo's building exposure, zone by zone
Camargo rates 82% Minimal exposure against just 18% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 356 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Camargo compares
Within Illinois, Camargo ranks higher (19th percentile) than it does nationally (3rd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Camargo ranks 30,623 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,154 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,174 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Camargo and the insurance market
Camargo's low rating (3rd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Camargo
With 82% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Camargo gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
