Davis Junction, IL
Davis Junction, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Davis Junction lands at the 9th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,067 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Davis Junction's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
Davis Junction's building exposure, zone by zone
83.9% of Davis Junction's 1,067 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 16.1% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Davis Junction compares
Davis Junction's 40th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 9th 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, Davis Junction ranks 28,734 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,476 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 865 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Davis Junction and the insurance market
At the 9th national percentile, Davis Junction rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Davis Junction's 83.9% 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.
More on how this number was built
Davis Junction's 9th-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 Davis Junction, see the exposure-zones guide.
