Jeisyville, IL
Jeisyville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Jeisyville lands at the 26th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 75 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Jeisyville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 26th percentile nationally.
Where Jeisyville's buildings actually sit
Most of Jeisyville's buildings (97.3%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
Where Jeisyville ranks
Within Illinois, Jeisyville ranks higher (73rd percentile) than it does nationally (26th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Jeisyville ranks 23,314 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,079 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 387 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Jeisyville and the insurance market
At the 26th national percentile, Jeisyville rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Jeisyville (97.3% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
Where Jeisyville's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Jeisyville's 23,314-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Jeisyville's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
