Grandwood Park, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Grandwood Park's 1,935 buildings earn a 35th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Grandwood Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 37th percentile nationally.
Grandwood Park's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 15.2% of Grandwood Park's 1,935 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 84.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Grandwood Park ranks
Within Illinois, Grandwood Park ranks higher (87th percentile) than it does nationally (35th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Grandwood Park ranks 20,384 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,661 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 185 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
Grandwood Park's moderate rating (35th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Grandwood Park
With 84.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Grandwood Park gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
