Crainville, IL
Crainville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Crainville at the 37th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 826 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Crainville at the 40th national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Crainville's buildings actually sit
826 buildings are counted in Crainville, and 59.1% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 40.9% rated Minimal.
Crainville against the rest of the country
Within Illinois, Crainville ranks higher (90th percentile) than it does nationally (37th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crainville ranks 19,722 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,387 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 149 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Crainville's moderate rating (37th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because Direct exposure dominates in Crainville (59.1%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Crainville's 37th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Crainville, see the exposure-zones guide.
