La Moille, IL
La Moille, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, La Moille lands at the 3rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 494 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks La Moille at the 3rd national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
La Moille's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 21.5% of La Moille's 494 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 78.5% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where La Moille ranks
La Moille's 20th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 3rd 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, La Moille ranks 30,564 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,456 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,162 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
At the 3rd national percentile, La Moille rates low 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
La Moille's 78.5% 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.
Where La Moille's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind La Moille's 30,564-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what La Moille's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
