Freeman Spur, IL
How exposed is Freeman Spur to wildfire?
Freeman Spur sits at the 20th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 231 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Freeman Spur's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 21st percentile nationally.
Where Freeman Spur's buildings actually sit
Only 32.9% of Freeman Spur's 231 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 67.1% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Freeman Spur against the rest of the country
Freeman Spur's 61st-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 20th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Freeman Spur ranks 25,268 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,762 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 563 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Freeman Spur
Freeman Spur's low wildfire rating (20th 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
Even with 67.1% of Freeman Spur outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
