How exposed is Campbell Hill to wildfire?

Moderate
38thpercentile nationally

USFS scores Campbell Hill at the 38th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 288 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Campbell Hill at the 40th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Campbell Hill's building exposure, zone by zone

288Total buildings
7.3%Direct exposure
92.7%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Most of Campbell Hill's buildings (92.7%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.

Campbell Hill against the rest of the country

Campbell Hill's 90th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 38th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Campbell Hill ranks 19,530 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,955 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 140 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 38th national percentile, Campbell Hill 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 Campbell Hill

Because 92.7% of Campbell Hill'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.
