Trilla, IL
How exposed is Trilla to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Trilla lands at the 3rd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 135 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Trilla's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 3rd percentile nationally.
Where Trilla's buildings actually sit
Only 17.8% of Trilla's 135 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 82.2% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
How Trilla compares
Trilla's 19th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 3rd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Trilla ranks 30,629 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 27,488 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,180 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Trilla and the insurance market
At the 3rd national percentile, Trilla rates low for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Trilla
Even with 82.2% of Trilla outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones, basic hardening — gutter maintenance, ember-resistant vents — is inexpensive relative to the regional burn-probability risk noted above. Details in the home-hardening guide.
Where Trilla's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Trilla's 30,629-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Trilla's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
