Country Club Hills, IL
Country Club Hills, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Country Club Hills at the 64th national percentile for risk to structures, well above the national norm for wildfire risk — a score built from 6,237 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Country Club Hills's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 65th percentile nationally.
Country Club Hills's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 99.3% of Country Club Hills's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 0.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one. At 6,237 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Country Club Hills against the rest of the country

Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Country Club Hills and the insurance market
At the 64th percentile nationally, Country Club Hills carries the high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 99.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Country Club Hills gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
