Newman, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Newman's 730 buildings earn a 1st-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, Newman's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 2nd percentile nationally.
Newman's building exposure, zone by zone
95.2% of Newman's 730 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 4.8% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
Newman against the rest of the country
Newman's risk sits at a similar level relative to Illinois (12th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (1st) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Newman ranks 31,069 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 14,330 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,277 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Newman
At the 1st national percentile, Newman rates low 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 Newman
With 95.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Newman 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
Newman's 1st-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 Newman, see the exposure-zones guide.
