Le Roy, IL
Le Roy, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Le Roy sits at the 5th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,879 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Le Roy at the 5th percentile, close to its 5th-percentile risk score.
Where Le Roy's buildings actually sit
Most of Le Roy's buildings (92.9% of 1,879) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Le Roy compares
Compare Le Roy's two percentiles: 27th within Illinois, only 5th nationally — a gap of 23 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Le Roy ranks 30,030 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 7,826 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,054 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Le Roy and the insurance market
Le Roy's low rating (5th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
Le Roy's 92.9% 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.
