Coyne Center, IL
Coyne Center, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Coyne Center lands at the 43rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a figure built from its 563 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Coyne Center at the 45th percentile, close to its 43rd-percentile risk score.
Where Coyne Center's buildings actually sit
74.3% of Coyne Center's 563 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 25.8% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
