South Holland, IL
South Holland, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
South Holland's 10,384 buildings earn a 48th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — modestly above the national average for wildfire risk. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, South Holland's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 51st percentile nationally.
South Holland's building exposure, zone by zone
South Holland rates 99.6% Minimal exposure against just 0.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 10,384 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually. At 10,384 buildings, this is a substantial built environment, so the shares below describe a real population of structures, not a handful of edge cases.
Where South Holland ranks
Compare South Holland's two percentiles: 98th within Illinois, only 48th nationally — a gap of 50 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, South Holland ranks 16,320 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 1,535 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 34 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
South Holland and the insurance market
South Holland's elevated rating (48th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.
Hardening a home in South Holland
With 99.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, South Holland 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
South Holland's 48th-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 South Holland, see the exposure-zones guide.
