Foosland, IL
Foosland, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Foosland lands at the 0th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 75 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Foosland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 0th percentile nationally.
Foosland's building exposure, zone by zone
Foosland rates 89.3% Minimal exposure against just 10.7% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 75 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Foosland against the rest of the country
Foosland scores 0th nationally and 2nd within Illinois — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Foosland ranks 31,448 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,078 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,408 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
Foosland's low wildfire rating (0th 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
Foosland's 89.3% 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.
