Millbrook, IL
How exposed is Millbrook to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Millbrook lands at the 22nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 222 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Millbrook at the 22nd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Millbrook's buildings actually sit
50.4% of Millbrook's 222 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 49.6% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Millbrook compares
Millbrook's 65th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 22nd 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, Millbrook ranks 24,733 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,048 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 512 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Millbrook and the insurance market
At the 22nd national percentile, Millbrook rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Millbrook
Millbrook's 50.4% 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.
