Caseyville, IL
Caseyville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Caseyville at the 14th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 2,566 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Caseyville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 15th percentile nationally.
Where Caseyville's buildings actually sit
Most of Caseyville's buildings (69.6% of 2,566) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Caseyville compares
Within Illinois, Caseyville ranks higher (52nd percentile) than it does nationally (14th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Caseyville ranks 26,970 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 6,170 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 693 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Caseyville
At the 14th national percentile, Caseyville 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
Even with 69.6% of Caseyville outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
