Diamond, IL
Diamond, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Diamond's 1,086 buildings earn a 32nd-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Diamond's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 33rd percentile nationally.
Where Diamond's buildings actually sit
1,086 buildings are counted in Diamond, and 62.3% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 9% in Direct exposure or the 28.6% rated Minimal.
How Diamond compares
Within Illinois, Diamond ranks higher (83rd percentile) than it does nationally (32nd) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Diamond ranks 21,356 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,362 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 249 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
Diamond's moderate rating (32nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Diamond
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Diamond (62.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Diamond's 32nd-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Diamond, see the exposure-zones guide.
