Venetian Village, IL
Venetian Village, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Venetian Village at the 38th national percentile for risk to structures, close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a score built from 1,565 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Venetian Village's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 39th percentile nationally.
Where Venetian Village's buildings actually sit
Most of Venetian Village's buildings (55.3% of 1,565) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
Venetian Village against the rest of the country
Venetian Village's 91st-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 38th 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, Venetian Village ranks 19,469 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,901 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 137 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Venetian Village's moderate rating (38th 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 55.3% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Venetian Village 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
Venetian Village's 38th-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 Venetian Village, see the exposure-zones guide.
