Moro, IL
Moro wildfire risk explained
Moro's 237 buildings earn a 8th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Moro's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 8th percentile nationally.
Where Moro's buildings actually sit
Moro rates 76.8% Minimal exposure against just 23.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 237 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Moro compares
Moro's 37th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 8th 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, Moro ranks 29,145 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,552 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 920 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Moro
At the 8th national percentile, Moro rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With 76.8% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Moro gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
