Evergreen Park, IL
Evergreen Park, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Evergreen Park sits at the 27th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 10,524 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Evergreen Park at the 37th percentile, close to its 27th-percentile risk score.
Where Evergreen Park's buildings actually sit
100% of Evergreen Park's 10,524 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 0% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself. At 10,524 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where Evergreen Park ranks
Compare Evergreen Park's two percentiles: 76th within Illinois, only 27th nationally — a gap of 49 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Evergreen Park ranks 22,905 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,514 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 350 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
Evergreen Park's moderate wildfire rating (27th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Evergreen Park's 100% 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.
