Stone Park, IL
Stone Park, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Stone Park at the 1st national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 1,550 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Stone Park's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 1st percentile nationally.
Where Stone Park's buildings actually sit
100% of Stone Park's 1,550 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 0% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.
How Stone Park compares
Stone Park's risk sits at a similar level relative to Illinois (6th 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, Stone Park ranks 31,329 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,955 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,359 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Stone Park
Stone Park'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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Stone Park's 100% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
Where Stone Park's figures come from
Stone Park's 1st-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Stone Park's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
