Warrensburg, IL's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers

Low
0thpercentile nationally

Warrensburg's 656 buildings earn a 0th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Warrensburg at the 0th national percentile — 0 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.

Warrensburg rates 97.6% Minimal exposure against just 2.4% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 656 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.

Warrensburg against the rest of the country

Within Illinois alone, it ranks 1,403 of 1,445 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Illinois on its state page.

Shopping for coverage in Warrensburg

Warrensburg's low wildfire rating (0th 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.

What would actually reduce this score

With 97.6% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Warrensburg gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.

Where Warrensburg's figures come from

Warrensburg's 0th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Warrensburg's dominant minimal exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
