Ullin, IL
Ullin, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Ullin sits at the 29th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 331 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Ullin at the 31st national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Ullin's buildings actually sit
Most of Ullin's buildings (66.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Ullin compares
Within Illinois, Ullin ranks higher (78th percentile) than it does nationally (29th) — one of the more fire-exposed places in a state that, overall, scores lower than that. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Ullin ranks 22,371 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 20,790 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 319 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Ullin
Ullin's moderate rating (29th percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

Ullin's 66.2% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
