Curran, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Curran's 160 buildings earn a 5th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Curran's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
Curran's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 8.8% of Curran's 160 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 91.3% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Curran ranks
Curran's 26th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 5th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Curran ranks 30,059 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,422 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,063 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Curran
At the 5th national percentile, Curran 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 Curran
Curran's 91.3% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
