Edinburg, IL
Edinburg, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Edinburg's 760 buildings earn a 4th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Edinburg at the 4th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Edinburg's buildings actually sit
Only 3.8% of Edinburg's 760 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 96.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Edinburg compares
Within Illinois, Edinburg ranks higher (25th percentile) than it does nationally (4th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Edinburg ranks 30,152 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,012 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,083 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Edinburg and the insurance market
Edinburg's low wildfire rating (4th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
Edinburg's 96.2% 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.
Where Edinburg's figures come from
Edinburg's 4th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Edinburg's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
