Jeffersonville's building exposure, zone by zone
Jeffersonville rates 75.9% Minimal exposure against just 24.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 290 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Jeffersonville ranks
There's little gap between Jeffersonville's 2nd national percentile and its 15th percentile inside Illinois, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jeffersonville ranks 30,879 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 21,904 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,229 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
Jeffersonville's low wildfire rating (2nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Jeffersonville's 75.9% 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.
