Crescent City, IL
How exposed is Crescent City to wildfire?
Crescent City's 435 buildings earn a 0th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Crescent City at the 0th percentile, close to its 0th-percentile risk score.
Where Crescent City's buildings actually sit
Crescent City rates 88.7% Minimal exposure against just 11.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 435 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Crescent City ranks
There's little gap between Crescent City's 0th national percentile and its 5th percentile inside Illinois, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Crescent City ranks 31,384 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,547 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,375 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
At the 0th national percentile, Crescent City rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Crescent City
Even with 88.7% of Crescent City outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Crescent City's 0th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Crescent City, see the exposure-zones guide.
