Ipava, IL
Ipava, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Ipava lands at the 7th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 396 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Ipava at the 7th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Where Ipava's buildings actually sit
Most of Ipava's buildings (56.8% of 396) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Ipava against the rest of the country
Ipava's 36th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 7th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ipava ranks 29,179 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,298 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 924 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Ipava and the insurance market
At the 7th national percentile, Ipava rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 56.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Ipava gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

The methodology guide shows exactly how USFS turned 396 counted buildings into the percentiles shown above for Ipava. The exposure-zones guide covers what Ipava's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
