Ivesdale, IL
Ivesdale, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Ivesdale at the 0th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 245 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ivesdale at the 0th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Ivesdale's buildings actually sit
Most of Ivesdale's buildings (92.2% of 245) 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.

Ivesdale and the insurance market
Ivesdale's low rating (0th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
