Oneida, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Oneida's 504 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.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Oneida at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Oneida's building exposure, zone by zone
Oneida rates 88.7% Minimal exposure against just 11.3% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 504 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Oneida ranks
Oneida's risk sits at a similar level relative to Illinois (9th 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, Oneida ranks 31,229 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 17,265 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,321 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Oneida
Oneida's low wildfire rating (1st percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
With 88.7% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Oneida 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
Oneida'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 Oneida, see the exposure-zones guide.
