Dana, IL
Dana wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Dana at the 0th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 141 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Dana at the 0th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
89.4% of Dana's 141 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 10.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Dana compares
Dana scores 0th nationally and 5th within Illinois — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Dana ranks 31,385 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,242 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,376 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Dana and the insurance market
At the 0th national percentile, Dana 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 Dana
With 89.4% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Dana gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
