Justice, IL
How exposed is Justice to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Justice lands at the 38th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 3,593 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 Justice at the 41st percentile, close to its 38th-percentile risk score.
Where Justice's buildings actually sit
Justice rates 99.7% Minimal exposure against just 0.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 3,593 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Justice compares
Justice's 91st-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 38th 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, Justice ranks 19,406 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,657 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 134 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
Justice's moderate wildfire rating (38th 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 Justice
Even with 99.7% of Justice outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Justice's 38th-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 Justice, see the exposure-zones guide.
