Hoopeston, IL
Hoopeston, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Hoopeston at the 1st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 3,366 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Hoopeston at the 1st national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Hoopeston's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 96.9% of Hoopeston's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 3.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Hoopeston against the rest of the country
Hoopeston's risk sits at a similar level relative to Illinois (10th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Hoopeston ranks 31,163 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,964 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,302 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Hoopeston
Hoopeston's low rating (1st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Hoopeston's 96.9% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Hoopeston's 1st-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 Hoopeston, see the exposure-zones guide.
