Chandlerville, IL
Chandlerville wildfire risk explained
Chandlerville's 479 buildings earn a 24th-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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Chandlerville at the 24th percentile, close to its 24th-percentile risk score.
Chandlerville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Chandlerville's buildings (91.4%) 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.
Chandlerville against the rest of the country
Compare Chandlerville's two percentiles: 68th within Illinois, only 24th nationally — a gap of 45 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Chandlerville ranks 24,070 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,720 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 459 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Chandlerville and the insurance market
Chandlerville's moderate rating (24th 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 Chandlerville
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Chandlerville (91.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Chandlerville's 24th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Chandlerville, see the exposure-zones guide.
