Hanna City, IL
How exposed is Hanna City to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Hanna City lands at the 13th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 755 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hanna City at the 13th national percentile — 0 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Hanna City's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 90.9% of Hanna City's 755 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 8.1% Direct and 1.1% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.

What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Hanna City (90.9% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
