Redmon, IL
Redmon wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Redmon at the 1st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 148 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Redmon at the 1st percentile, close to its 1st-percentile risk score.
Redmon's building exposure, zone by zone
Redmon rates 89.9% Minimal exposure against just 10.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 148 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Where Redmon ranks
Redmon's risk sits at a similar level relative to Illinois (5th 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, Redmon ranks 31,352 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,947 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,364 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Redmon and the insurance market
Redmon's low rating (1st percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
What would actually reduce this score
With 89.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Redmon 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
Redmon'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 Redmon, see the exposure-zones guide.
