Collinsville, IL
Collinsville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Collinsville at the 14th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 11,188 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Collinsville at the 14th percentile, close to its 14th-percentile risk score.
Collinsville's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 17.3% of Collinsville's 11,188 buildings carry Direct exposure and 19.8% carry Indirect; the remaining 62.9% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure. At 11,188 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
How Collinsville compares
Within Illinois, Collinsville ranks higher (51st 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, Collinsville ranks 27,124 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,414 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 709 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Collinsville and the insurance market
Collinsville's low wildfire rating (14th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 62.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Collinsville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
