Longview, IL
Longview, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Longview's 142 buildings earn a 0th-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 Longview at the 0th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Longview's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 16.2% of Longview's 142 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 83.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Where Longview ranks
There's little gap between Longview's 0th national percentile and its 1st percentile inside Illinois, which means the state comparison mostly confirms what the national score already shows. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Longview ranks 31,517 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,198 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,443 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Longview
Longview's low wildfire rating (0th 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.
Hardening a home in Longview
With 83.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Longview 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
Longview's 0th-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 Longview, see the exposure-zones guide.
