Little York, IL
Little York, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Little York sits at the 11th 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 248 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 Little York at the 11th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Little York's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 4.8% of Little York's 248 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 95.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Little York compares
Within Illinois, Little York ranks higher (45th percentile) than it does nationally (11th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Little York ranks 27,947 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,196 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 788 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
Little York's low rating (11th 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
Little York's 95.2% 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.
