Johnsonville, IL
Johnsonville wildfire risk explained
Johnsonville's 67 buildings earn a 5th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Johnsonville at the 5th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Johnsonville's buildings actually sit
82.1% of Johnsonville's 67 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 17.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Johnsonville compares
Within Illinois, Johnsonville ranks higher (28th percentile) than it does nationally (5th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Johnsonville ranks 29,963 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,378 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,035 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Johnsonville and the insurance market
Johnsonville's low wildfire rating (5th 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.
Hardening a home in Johnsonville
With 82.1% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Johnsonville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Johnsonville's 5th-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 Johnsonville, see the exposure-zones guide.
