Orangeville, IL
Orangeville, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Orangeville at the 21st national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 415 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Orangeville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Where Orangeville's buildings actually sit
USFS classifies 82.2% of Orangeville's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 17.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
How Orangeville compares
Within Illinois, Orangeville ranks higher (64th percentile) than it does nationally (21st) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that.

Within Illinois alone, it ranks 516 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Orangeville and the insurance market
At the 21st national percentile, Orangeville rates moderate 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 82.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Orangeville gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
