Williamsville, IL
How exposed is Williamsville to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Williamsville lands at the 9th percentile for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a figure built from its 785 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Williamsville's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 9th percentile nationally.
Where Williamsville's buildings actually sit
97.1% of Williamsville's 785 buildings sit in USFS's Minimal exposure zone, with only 2.9% rated Direct — risk here comes from regional burn probability more than proximity to burnable vegetation at the structure itself.

Shopping for coverage in Williamsville
Williamsville's low wildfire rating (9th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Williamsville's 97.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
More on how this number was built
Williamsville's 9th-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 Williamsville, see the exposure-zones guide.
