Manito, IL
Manito, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Manito lands at the 6th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,019 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Manito's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 5th percentile nationally.
Where Manito's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 97.6% of Manito's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 2.5% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Manito against the rest of the country
Manito's 31st-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 6th national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Manito ranks 29,743 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,804 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,004 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Manito
Manito's low rating (6th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in Manito
With 97.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Manito gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
