Leland Grove, IL
Leland Grove, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Leland Grove's 868 buildings earn a 8th-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 Leland Grove at the 9th national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS classifies 93.9% of Leland Grove's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 6.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Leland Grove ranks
Compare Leland Grove's two percentiles: 37th within Illinois, only 8th nationally — a gap of 29 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Leland Grove ranks 29,049 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,003 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 910 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Leland Grove
Leland Grove's low wildfire rating (8th 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.
What would actually reduce this score
With 93.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Leland Grove 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
Leland Grove's 8th-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 Leland Grove, see the exposure-zones guide.
