Warren, IL
Warren, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Out of every US place USFS scores, Warren lands at the 4th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 1,084 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Warren at the 4th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Warren's building exposure, zone by zone
Only 12.5% of Warren's 1,084 buildings carry Direct exposure and 0% carry Indirect; the remaining 87.6% are Minimal, which shifts the risk driving this page's score toward the surrounding landscape rather than any one structure.
Warren against the rest of the country
Compare Warren's two percentiles: 24th within Illinois, only 4th nationally — a gap of 20 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warren ranks 30,248 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 11,381 by building count (1 is largest). Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,099 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.
Warren and the insurance market
At the 4th national percentile, Warren 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 Warren
With 87.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Warren gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
