Victoria, IL
Victoria, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Victoria at the 22nd national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 254 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Victoria's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 22nd percentile nationally.
Where Victoria's buildings actually sit
254 buildings are counted in Victoria, and 87.8% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 12.2% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
Victoria against the rest of the country
Victoria's 65th-percentile standing inside Illinois outpaces its 22nd 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, Victoria ranks 24,735 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 23,008 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 514 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Victoria
Victoria's moderate wildfire rating (22nd percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
Hardening a home in Victoria
Victoria's 87.8% 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.
