Oreana, IL
Oreana wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Oreana at the 3rd national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 484 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Oreana's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Oreana rates 95.9% Minimal exposure against just 4.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 484 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Shopping for coverage in Oreana
