Goodfield, IL
Goodfield, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Goodfield's 476 buildings earn a 19th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Goodfield's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 19th percentile nationally.
Goodfield's building exposure, zone by zone
63% of Goodfield's 476 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 29.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Goodfield against the rest of the country
Within Illinois, Goodfield ranks higher (60th percentile) than it does nationally (19th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Goodfield ranks 25,581 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,777 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 584 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
Goodfield's low wildfire rating (19th 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 63% of Goodfield 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.
