Secor, IL
How exposed is Secor to wildfire?
Secor sits at the 11th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 257 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Secor at the 11th percentile, close to its 11th-percentile risk score.
Secor's building exposure, zone by zone
USFS classifies 87.2% of Secor's buildings as Minimal exposure, the largest of the three zones here by a wide margin over 12.8% Direct and 0% Indirect — a landscape-level risk rather than a building-by-building one.
Where Secor ranks
Within Illinois, Secor ranks higher (45th percentile) than it does nationally (11th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Secor ranks 28,009 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 22,914 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 794 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Secor
Secor's low rating (11th 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 87.2% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Secor 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
Secor's 11th-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 Secor, see the exposure-zones guide.
