Campus, IL
How exposed is Campus to wildfire?
USFS scores Campus at the 0th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 118 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Campus's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 0th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
85.6% of Campus's 118 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 14.4% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Campus compares
Campus scores 0th nationally and 4th 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, Campus ranks 31,415 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 28,234 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,389 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Campus and the insurance market
At the 0th national percentile, Campus rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
Campus's 85.6% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Campus's figures come from
Campus's 0th-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 Campus's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
