Farina, IL
Farina wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Farina at the 2nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 449 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Farina at the 2nd percentile, close to its 2nd-percentile risk score.
Where Farina's buildings actually sit
Farina rates 86.9% Minimal exposure against just 13.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 449 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Farina against the rest of the country
Farina's risk sits at a similar level relative to Illinois (16th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (2nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Farina ranks 30,817 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 18,292 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,216 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Farina
At the 2nd national percentile, Farina rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 86.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Farina gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
