Langleyville, IL
Langleyville wildfire risk explained
Out of every US place USFS scores, Langleyville lands at the 27th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 230 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Langleyville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 27th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 64.8% of Langleyville's 230 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 16.5% Direct and 18.7% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Langleyville against the rest of the country
Within Illinois, Langleyville ranks higher (75th percentile) than it does nationally (27th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Langleyville ranks 23,033 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,786 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 359 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 27th national percentile, Langleyville 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
Because 64.8% of Langleyville's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
