Maryville, IL
Maryville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Maryville at the 11th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 3,501 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Maryville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 11th percentile nationally.
Where Maryville's buildings actually sit
Only 22.7% of Maryville's 3,501 buildings carry Direct exposure and 2.6% carry Indirect; the remaining 74.8% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Maryville against the rest of the country
Maryville's 45th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 11th 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, Maryville ranks 28,135 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,771 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 803 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
At the 11th national percentile, Maryville rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 74.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Maryville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
