Greenview, IL
Greenview wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Greenview at the 6th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 567 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Greenview's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 6th percentile nationally.
Greenview's building exposure, zone by zone
Greenview rates 98.8% Minimal exposure against just 1.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 567 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Greenview against the rest of the country
Within Illinois, Greenview ranks higher (32nd percentile) than it does nationally (6th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Greenview ranks 29,584 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 16,294 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 979 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
Greenview's low rating (6th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Even with 98.8% of Greenview 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.
More on how this number was built
Greenview's 6th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Greenview, see the exposure-zones guide.
